Only p(x) has an average rate of change of -4 over [-2, 2].

Find the average rate of change of each given function over the interval [-2, 2]]:

The average rate of change of m(x) over [-2, 2]:

<h3>What is the average rate?</h3>

The average rate of change = $\frac{m(b)-m(a)}{b-a}$

Where, a = -2, m(a) = -12

b = 2, m(b) = 4

Plug the values into the equation

The average rate of change

$=\frac{4-(-12)}{2-(-2)} =\frac{16}{4}$

The average rate of change = 4

The average rate of change of n(x) over [-2, 2]:

The average rate of change = $\frac{n(b)-n(a)}{b-a}$

Where, a = -2, n(a) = -6

b = 2, n(b) = 6

Plug the values into the equation

The average rate of change

$=\frac{6-(-6)}{2-(-2)} \\=\frac{12}{4}$

The average rate of change = 3

The average rate of change of q(x) over [-2, 2]:

The average rate of change = $\frac{q(b)-q(a)}{b-a}$

Where, a = -2, q(a) = -4

b = 2, q(b) = -12

Plug the values into the

The average rate of change = $\frac{-4-12}{2-(-2)}$

= $\frac{-16}{4}$

The average rate of change = -2

The average rate of change of p(x) over [-2, 2]:

The average rate of change = $\frac{p(b)-p(a)}{b-a}$

Where, a = -2, p(a) = 12

b = 2, p(b) = -4

Plug the values into the equation

The average rate of change = $\frac{-4-12}{2-(-2)}$

$=\frac{-16}{4}$

The average rate of change = -4

The answer is D.

Only p(x) has an average rate of change of -4 over [-2, 2].

What is 4,7,12,19,28 in quadratic form

You obviously don't mind using "technology" (Brainly) to answer these questions. A graphing calculator can do quadratic regression on the sequence and tell you its formula.

If you want to do it by hand, you can write the equation
.. y = ax^2 +bx +c
and substitute three of the given points. Then solve the resulting three linear equations for a, b, and c.
.. 4 = a +b +c
.. 7 = 4a +2b +c
.. 12 = 9a +3b +c

Subtracting the first equation from the other two reduces this to
.. 3 = 3a +b
.. 8 = 8a +2b
The latter can be divided by 2, so reduces to
.. 4 = 4a +b
Subtracting the first of the reduced equations from this, you have
.. 1 = a
so
.. 3 = 3*1 +b
.. 0 = b
and
.. 4 = a + b + c = 1 + 0 + c
.. 3 = c

And your equation is
.. y = x^2 +3 . . . . . . as shown previously

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$y=-6x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0)

1) Determine the slope (m)

$m=\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that fall on the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Given the graph, we determine which points we could use. For example, we could use the two points $(0,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ :

$m=\displaystyle \frac{-4-2}{1-0}\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{-6}{1}\\\\m=-6$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -6. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-6x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

Recall that the y-intercept occurs when x=0. Given the point (0,2), we know that the y-intercept is 2. Plug this into $y=-6x+b$ :

$y=-6x+2$

I hope this helps!

Mrs. Del Pup bought 20 yards of border for her classroom bulletin board.

A rectangle with dimensions $x$ and $y$ has perimeter 20 if

$2(x+y)=20 \iff x+y=10$

and we can deduce

$y=10-x$

So, the dimensions of the rectangle must be $x$ and $10-x$ , where x ranges from 0 to 10 (both extremes are excluded, otherwise you'd have a degenerate rectangle, which is actually a segment).

So, all the possible areas are given by the product of the dimensions, i.e.

$x(10-x) = -x^2+10x$

The function $f(x)=-x^2+10x$ represents a parabola, facing downwards, and thus it admits a maximum, which is its vertex.

In particular, the vertex of this parabola is given by

$x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-10}{-2}=5$

And it yields an area of

$f(5)=-25+50=25$

(a) So, she can frame a maximum area of 25 squared yards.

(b)The dimensions of the rectangle with greatest area are $x=5$ and $y=10-x=10-5=5$ , so it's actually a square.

This is a well known theorem: if you fix the perimeter, the rectangle with the largest area is the square yielding that perimeter.

(c) If we increase both dimensions by 2 yards, our 5x5 square would become a 7x7 square...

(d) ...and the new area would be $7^2=49$ squared yards. So, the new area is $49-25=26$ squared yeards more than the old one.
