Answer:
404%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percentage difference do the following: (FV - SV)/|SV| * 100
(1260 - 250)/|250| * 100 <em>{Subtract 250 from 1260 to get 1010. The absolute value of 250 is 250.}</em>
1010/250 * 100 <em>{Divide 1010 by 250 to get 4.04, or 101/25.}</em>
101/25 * 100/1 <em>{CROSS CANCELLATION}</em>
101 * 4 <em>{Multiply 4 by 101 to get 404.}</em>
404%
The percent increase in the amount required to earn a credit over 38 years is 404%.

Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x-5
g(x) = -x^2 +1
g(2) = - (2^2) +1
g(2) =-4+1 = -3
Then stick the -3 in f(x)
f(-3) = 3(-3)-5 = -9 -5 = -14
f(g(2) = -14
