Answer:

Average rate of change = \frac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

For a closed interval [a,b] in a function, the average rate of change is m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}.

Thus, given our interval of [1,2] from the directions, we determine that f(b)=f(2)=-\frac{10}{(2)^2}=-\frac{10}{4}=-\frac{5}{2} and f(a)=f(1)=-\frac{10}{(1)^2}=-\frac{10}{1}=-10.

Hence, m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{(-\frac{5}{2})-(-10) }{2-1}=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{1}=\frac{15}{2}.

In conclusion, the average rate of change of the function from x=1 to x=2 is \frac{15}{2}.

Suppose you invest $50 a month in an annuity that earns 4% APR compounded monthly. How much money will you have in this account
skelet666 [1.2K]
To solve this we are going to use formula for the future value of an ordinary annuity: FV=P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt} -1}{ \frac{r}{n} } ]
where
FV is the future value
P is the periodic payment
r is the interest rate in decimal form
n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
t is the number of years

We know from our problem that the periodic payment is $50 and the number of years is 3, so P=50 and t=3. To convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%
r= \frac{4}{100}
r=0.04
Since the interest is compounded monthly, it is compounded 12 times per year; therefore, n=12.
Lets replace the values in our formula:
FV=P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt} -1}{ \frac{r}{n} } ]
FV=50[ \frac{(1+ \frac{0.04}{12} )^{(12)(3)} -1}{ \frac{0.04}{12} } ]
FV=1909.08

We can conclude that after 3 years you will have $1909.08 in your account.
