Answer 1

The rate of change of the function = 5

Explanation:

From the given parameters, we have;

The number of months Janenne has belonged to the book-of-the-month-club = 12

The amount Janenne has spent on the club = 70.45

The amount she paid in the first month = Monthly fee + 10.45

Let the monthly fee = x

The total amount Janenne has spent on the club can be given by the following formula;

10.45 + 12×x = 70.45

12×x = 70.45 - 10.45 = 60

x = 60/12 = 5

The monthly due of the book club = 5

Therefore, the rate of change of the function × 5

The function of the amount spent on the club = Y = t×x

Where;

x = The rate of change of the function

t = The time in months

The rate of change of the function = 5.
