Answer:

The principal required to accumulate interest of $ 1,008.00 on a rate of 4.5% per year for 7 years is $ 3200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Interest I = $ 1008

Time period t = 7 years

Rate of Interest per year r = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

To determine:

Initial deposit P = ?

Using the simple interest formula

I = Prt

P = I / rt

P = 1008 / ( 0.045 × 7 )

P = $ 3200

Therefore, the principal required to accumulate interest of $ 1,008.00 on a rate of 4.5% per year for 7 years is $ 3200.

$\bf f(x)= 4x^2 \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=3\\
x_2=3+h
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{(3+h)~-~(3)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[4(3+h)^2]~~-~~[4(3)^2]}{\underline{3}+h-\underline{3}}\implies \cfrac{4(3^2+6h+h^2)~~-~~4(9)}{h}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4(9+6h+h^2)~~-~~36}{h}\implies \cfrac{\underline{36}+24h+4h^2~~\underline{-~~36}}{h}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{24h+4h^2}{h}\implies \cfrac{\underline{h}(24+4h)}{\underline{h}}\implies 24+4h$
