At the end of 2 years, p dollars invested at an interest rate r compounded annually increases to an amount, a dollars, given by the following formula.

a=p(1+r)^2

find the interest rate if $100 increased to $144 in 2 years. write your answer as a percent.

315 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bus travels at constant speed, then the slope of the distance versus time graph can be calculated by using any two points from this table.

Let's use the points (0.5, 42) and (4.5, 378):

as we move from the first point to the second, t increases by 4 and y increases by 336.  Thus, the slope of this graph is

m = rise / run = 336 km  /  4 hr  =  84 km/hr

then distance traveled = speed times time, or

distance traveled = (84 km/hr)t, where t is the elapsed time.

In 6 hours the bus would travel

                                 ( 84 km/hr )(6 hr) = 504 km, or approx. 315 mi
