Using decimal multipliers, it is found that a rate of return of 5.2% in the third year will produce a cumulative gain of 16%.
The <u>decimal multiplier</u> for a increase of a% is given by:

In this problem, two increases of 5%, thus:

Another of x, that we want to find, and the result is a increase of 16%, thus:

The three increases(5%, 5% and x%) result in a increase of 16%, thus:



1.052 - 1 = 0.052
A rate of return of 5.2% in the third year will produce a cumulative gain of 16%.

(gof)(0) cannot be evaluated
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,

A composite function is denoted by (g o f) (x) = g (f(x)).
The notation g o f is read as “g of f”
Therefore, let us find whether (gof)(0) can be evaluated or not
To find (gof)(0):
(g o f) (x) = g (f(x))
Now substitute the given value of f(x)



Now to find (gof)(0), substitute x = 0

Since 1 divided by 0 is undefined, because any number divided by 0 is undefined
(gof)(0) cannot be evaluated
