At age 30 you deposit $150 at the end of each month into an IRA that pays 4% interest compounded monthly. In the previous question, we found that the value of the annuity at age 65 would be $137,059.64. How much interest did you earn? Round your answer to the nearest cent and do not include the dollar sign.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
