Vince borrows $900 to buy a couch. He will pay off the loan by paying 1.5% simple interest for 2 years. Vince incorrectly calculates the amount he will pay back using the expression below. 900 + 900(1.015 • 2) What is the correct amount Vince will pay back altogether? Explain the error in Vince’s expression.

b

step-by-step explanation:

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
