Answer:
A) a • (b • c) = (a • b) • c
Step-by-step explanation:
The associative property of multiplication (or addition) shows that the order the numbers are multiplied it irrelevant, more specifically in the manners of parentheses.
So, the answer is A, which can also be seen in that substituting a as 5, b as 3, and c as 6 gives us the first example.
Answer:
Average rate of change is <u>0.80.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The two points given are (5, 6) and (15, 14).
Average rate of change is the ratio of the overall change in 'y' and overall change in 'x'. If the overall change in 'y' is positive with 'x', then average rate of change is also positive and vice-versa.
The average rate of change for two points
is given as:

Plug in
and solve for 'R'. This gives,

Therefore, the average rate of change for the points (5, 6) and (15, 14) is 0.80.
5, and -5 because a negative times a negative equals a positive
You have the formula. Put in the numbers and solve for r.
The interest earned in 4 years on 5000 is (6500 -5000) = 1500.
.. I = Prt
.. 1500 = 5000*r*4
.. 1500/20000 = r = .075 = 7.5% . . . . . . matches selection B
