1. Find the principal amount:

P = 2500

2. Find the annual interest rate:

R = 0.45

3. Find the time in years (6 months is 0.5 years):

T = 0.5

4. Use the simple interest formula:

I = P \times R \times T

5. Substitute the values into the formula:

I = 2500 \times 0.45 \times 0.5

6. Calculate the interest:

I = 562.50

The interest he will pay you is

562.50

QUESTION l. An investigation has been carried out in a region to know the perception of "citizen insecurity" of its inhabitants. 1,270 people in the region were interviewed, of which 27.1% responded that it was a "serious" problem.

Exercise The temperature T in degrees Celsius of a chemical reaction is given as a function of time t, expressed in minutes, by the function defined on ¿ by: T (t )=(20 t +10)e−0.5t. 1) What is the initial temperature? 2) Show that T' (t )=(−10 t +15)e−0 .5t. 3) Study the sign of T' (t ), then draw up the table of variations of T . We do not ask for the limit of T in +∞. 4) What is the maximum temperature reached by the reaction chemical. We will give an approximate value to within 10−2. 5) After how long does the temperature T go back down to its initial value? We will give an approximate value of this time in minutes and seconds.
