1 answer:
There was $135 in Roland's bank account after the two-month period.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Roland out $180 in his account at the beginning of July. This reduced by 25% over the next two months.
We need to determine how much 25% of $180 is. To do so we convert 25% into a fraction and multiply with 180.
25% of $180
So an amount of $45 reduced over two months.
Step 2:
To calculate the money Roland has in his account after two months, we subtract the amount reduced from the amount of money in his account at the beginning of July.
The amount of money in his bank account after the two-month period
So there was $135 in Roland's bank account after the two-month period.

In order to find any of the info we need we have to find the first derivative of the equation. If 
, then 
. We are told to find the slope at point (1, 7). Using that x value in our derivative will give us the slope of the line at that point. y' = -(1)^2+8. So y' = 7. That's the slope of the line. Now we will use that slope along with the x and y coordinate in the slope-intercept form of a line to solve for b. 7 = 7(1) + b so b = 0. Our equation then is y = 7x. If you graph these in the same window on your calculator, you can see how perfectly that align at the given point. It's really quite perfect.
