What is the average rate of change of f(x) = -x2 + 3x + 6 over the interval –3

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{6-(-12)}{3-(-3)} =\frac{18}{6}= 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average rate of change of a function over a given interval, basically you need to find the slope. The mathematical definition of the slope is very similar to the one we use every day. In mathematics, the slope is the relationship between the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line. In this sense, the slope can be found using the following expression:

$Average\hspace{3}rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$

So, the average rate of change of:

$f(x)=-x^2+3x+6$

Over the interval $-3$

Is:

$f(x_2)=f(3)=-(3)^2+3(3)+6=-9+9+6=6\\\\f(x_1)=f(-3)=-(-3)^2+3(-3)+6=-9-9+6=-12$

$\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{6-(-12)}{3-(-3)} =\frac{18}{6}= 3$

Therefore, the average rate of change of this function over that interval is 3.

Which statement is true about whether A and B are independent events? A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.1

love history [14]

The events A and B are independent if the probability that event A occurs does not affect the probability that event B occurs.
A and B are independent if the equation P(A∩B) = P(A) P(B) holds true.
P(A∩B) is the probability that both event A and B occur.
Conditional probability is the probability of an event given that some other event first occurs.
P(B|A)=P(A∩B)/P(A)
In the case where events A and B are independent the conditional probability of event B given event A is simply the probability of event B, that is P(B).
Statement 1:A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.12. This is true.
Statement 2:A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.25.
This is true.
Statement 3:A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.12 and P(A) = 0.25.
This is true.
Statement 4:A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.375 and P(A) = 0.25
This is true.

If the same BLANK number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, the inequality sign is reversed to make the resulting

Maurinko [17]

Answer: Negative
If the same negative number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, then the inequality sign flips to make the new inequality true as well

Example:
Take 1 < 5 and multiply both sides by -2 and we get -2 > -10. The "less than" sign flips to "greater than" since -2 < -10 is false. The value of -10 is further to the left of -2 so -10 is smaller in value. The negative basically takes the complete opposite which is why the flip must happen.

This sign flip rule does not happen if you multiply both sides by a positive number.
