The solution is false!
3.1 would become a fraction that will be calculated back into a decimal by the 4th power making it 92.3521=3,600.. so the equality is false because the left hand and the right hand side are different.
16/8k - 24/8 + 2/5 + 10/5k
2k - 3 + 2/5 + 2k
4k - 13/5
Hope it helps :)
The answer is 2^(9/10). I did it assuming with the ^5 you mean the 5th root of 4
Rate of change of profit for this period is $2750 per month
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Profit of $6500 in January and $17,500 in May
<em><u>To find: Rate of change</u></em>
Since,
January is the first month of the year (1) while May is the fifth month (5)
<em><u>Therefore, we get two points</u></em>
(1, 6500) and (5, 17500)
Using these points we can find the rate of change in profit for this time period
<em><u>The rate of change using the following formula:</u></em>

Here from the points,

<em><u>Therefore, rate of change is given as:</u></em>

Thus rate of change of profit for this period = $2750 per month
