Hi there! The answer is A.

To get a proper idea of the type of function this formula represents we work out the parenthesis.
Working out the parenthesis can for instance be done using rainbow technique.

We can now see sinilarities between this function an the general function of a line in slope intercept form

The function t therefore describes a line with slope 2 and y-intercept 4. Therefore the answer is A.
Answer: 0.35%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Advertised interest rate = nominal rate = 1.5%
Inflation rate = 1.15%
The real rate of return is calculated by:
[(1 + nominal rate) / ( 1 + inflation rate)] - 1
[(1 + (1.5/100)) / (1 + (1.15/100))] - 1
[(1 + 0.015) / ( 1 + 0.0115)] - 1
[ 1.015 / 1.0115] - 1
1.0034602 - 1 = 0.0034602
Real rate of return = (0.0034602 * 100)%
Real rate of return = 0.346%
The answer is x=0 I believe because it is the only logical area
