Answer :

R = 6.25%

Solution,

Let P is the principal. It means interest will be :

I=3/8 P

The formula for the interest is given by :

$I=\dfrac{PRT}{100}\\\\\dfrac{3}{8}P=\dfrac{PR\times 6}{100}\\\\\dfrac{3}{8}=\dfrac{6R}{100}\\\\R=\dfrac{300}{8\times 6}\\\\=6.25\%$

Hence, the rate of interest is 6.25%.

Let $f(x)$ be a function defined for all positive real numbers satisfying the conditions $f(x) > 0$ for all $x > 0$ and $f

algol [13]

Suppose we choose $x=1$ and $y=\dfrac12$ . Then

$f(x-y)=\sqrt{f(xy)+1}\implies f\left(\dfrac12\right)=\sqrt{f\left(\dfrac12\right)+1}\implies f\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2$

Now suppose we choose $x,y$ such that

$\begin{cases}x-y=\dfrac12\\\\xy=2009\end{cases}$

where we pick the solution for this system such that $x>y>0$ . Then we find

$\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2=\sqrt{f(2009)+1}\implies f(2009)=\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2$

Note that you can always find a solution to the system above that satisfies $x>y>0$ as long as $x>\dfrac12$ . What this means is that you can always find the value of $f(x)$ as a (constant) function of $f\left(\dfrac12\right)$ .
