Answer:

Average rate of change: $-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find average rate of change for our given function $f(x)=-3x+2$ .

We will use average rate of change formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{2-(-1)}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{(-3(2)+2)-(-3(-1)+2)}{2-(-1)}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{(-6+2)-(3+2)}{2+1}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{(-4)-(5)}{3}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{-4-5}{3}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{-9}{3}$

$\text{Average rate of change}=-3$

Therefore, the average rate of change for our given function from $x=-1$ to $x=2$ is $-3$ .

$the \: average \: rate \: of \: change = \frac{f(x2) - f(x1)}{x2 - x1} \\ \frac{f(2) - f( - 1)}{ 2 - - 1} = \\ \frac{ - 3(2) + 2 - ( - 3( - 1) + 2)}{3} = \\ \frac{ - 6 + 2 - 3 - 2}{3} = \frac{ - 9}{3} = - 3$

Tisha and Dana were both fishing for salmon, and by coincidence, caught the same number of fish this week. Tisha caught salmon i

solong [7]

Answer:

The minimum number of fish each must have caught is 90 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of fishes Tisha's net can hold = 15

The number of fishes Dana's net can hold = 18

Let the total number of fishes both Tisha and Dana caught = X

15 × A = 18 × B = X

Therefore, X is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 18 given as follows;

15 = 3 × 5

18 = 3 × 6

Therefore, the LCM of 18 and 5 = 3 × 5 × 6 = 90

Which gives, the minimum number of fish each must have caught = 90 fishes.

Solve for y. ln(y-1)-ln2=x+ln x

alexandr402 [8]

$ln(y - 1) - ln(2) = x + ln(x)$
$e^{ln(y - 1) - ln(2)} = e^{x + ln(x)}$
$\frac{e^{ln(y - 1)}}{e^{ln(2)}} = e^{x} * e^{ln(x)}$
$\frac{y - 1}{2} = e^{x} * x$
$\frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{2} = xe^{x}$
$2(\frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{2}) = 2xe^{x}$
$y - 1 = 2xe^{x}$
$y = 2xe^{x} + 1$
