2.0x10^-5 or 2.0E-5 —this is because as a small decimal number, you move the decimal to the right five spaces and then add a negative to the decimal to indicate that when you translate back (from scientific notation to 0.00002) you will move the decimal to the left
Hello,
Line 1 is passing through (-4,3), (-2,7) has a slope of (3-7)/(-4+2)=2
Line 2 is passing through (2,9), (4,1) has a slope of (9-1)/(2-4)=-4
One other way:
y=9-1/2 x²
y'=-x
gradient 1=-(-2)=2 for point (-2,7)
gradient 2=-(4)=-4 for point(4,1)
The answer is 45.6. You multiply the beginning amount to the interest rate to understand how much interest you get. Then multiply that by the amount of years the interest is gathered. 570 * .02 = 11.4 * 4 = $45.6 interest. Add this to 570 for the original amount of 615.6.
