Answer:
The average rate of change in the balance over the interval t = 0 to t = 5 is of $20.82 a year. This means that the balance increased by $20.82 a year over the interval t = 0 to t = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a function y, the average rate of change S of y=f(x) in an interval
will be given by the following equation:

In this problem, we have that:

Find the average rate of change in the balance over the interval t = 0 to t = 5.


Then

The average rate of change in the balance over the interval t = 0 to t = 5 is of $20.82 a year. This means that the balance increased by $20.82 a year over the interval t = 0 to t = 5.
the sum of 12 and a number/n
The slope is the factor in front of x, so slope is 9.
The y intercept is 7 (that's the point of cross the y axis, where x=0)
There are multiple definitions of "standard form" for lines, so here are the two i can think of:
9x - y = -7 (the implicit function form)
or
y-7 = 9*(x-0) (the point-slope form)
Lmk if you have questions.
You could actually find the compositions and thus have something to compare. You haven't shared the list of possible answer choices.
(f+g)(x) = 5x - 3 + x + 4 = 6x + 1
(f-g)(x) = 5x - 3 - x - 4 = 4x - 7
(f*g)(x) = (5x-3)((x+4) = 5x^2 + 20x - 3x - 12 = 5x^2 + 17x - 12
There are also the quotient (f/g)(x) and the compositions f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).
WRite them out.
Then you could arbitrarily select x values, such as 2, 10, etc., subst. them into each composition and determine which output is greatest.
