The average rate of change is 0.19
In this case the temperature depends on the hour. So temperature is your X and hour is your Y variable. When h=0, x=0. So the 21*C is you x=0 or y-int point.
If we are trying to match the equation for a line of y=mx+b, 21*C=b.
Our rate of change is -4*C/h, which is our m variable.
So y=(-4)x+(21)
OR in this case, t=-4h+21.
Answer D.
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Negative one half power is the reciprocal of the square root, 1/6
Multiplying positive numbers always comes out positive, no matter how many there are. So you can forget about the positive ones.
Every two negative numbers in a multiplication produce a positive.
Another way to say that is: If the number of negative ones is EVEN,
the answer is positive, and if it's ODD, the answer is negative.
That monster product of eight numbers in problem #12 will be negative,
because there are an odd amount of negative factors in it.
When multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents.
