The average rate of change of the function in the given interval -3 ≤ x ≤-1 is 10.

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

The average Rate of Change of the function f(x) can be calculated as;

$f(x) = \dfrac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a}$

Interval -3 ≤ x ≤-1

a = -3, b = -1

f(a) = f(-3) = -20

f(b) = f(-1) = 0

Step 2: Find Average

$f(x) = \dfrac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a}\\\\\\f(x) = \dfrac{f(-1) - f(-3)}{-1-(-3)}\\\\\\f(x) = \dfrac{0 - (-20)}{2}\\\\f(x) = 10$

Therefore, the average rate of change of the function in the given interval -3 ≤ x ≤-1 is 10.

Answer:

Its Choice c.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 60 degrees ( because of the arc = 60 degrees).

b = 1/2 * 60 = 30 degrees.

I need help please!!

Arturiano [62]

The answer would be 2.5 because you would do length times width times height so 5.2 times 9.3 is 48.36 but to get to 120.9 you would multiply it by 2.5 so the answer is 2.5 inches.

-hope this helped!

Evaluate the limit with either L'Hôpital's rule or previously learned methods.lim Sin(x)- Tan(x)/ x^3x → 0

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$\dfrac{-1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the limit of a function expressed as $\lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{sin(x)-tan(x)}{x^3}$ , to evaluate the following steps must be carried out.

Step 1: substitute x = 0 into the function

$= \dfrac{sin(0)-tan(0)}{0^3}\\= \frac{0}{0} (indeterminate)$

Step 2: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the function

$= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ sin(x)-tan(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (x^3)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{cos(x)-sec^2(x)}{3x^2}\\$

Step 3: substitute x = 0 into the resulting function

$= \dfrac{cos(0)-sec^2(0)}{3(0)^2}\\= \frac{1-1}{0}\\= \frac{0}{0} (ind)$

Step 4: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the resulting function in step 2

$= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ cos(x)-sec^2(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (3x^2)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{-sin(x)-2sec^2(x)tan(x)}{6x}\\$

$= \dfrac{-sin(0)-2sec^2(0)tan(0)}{6(0)}\\= \frac{0}{0} (ind)$

Step 6: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the resulting function in step 4

$= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ -sin(x)-2sec^2(x)tan(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (6x)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{[ -cos(x)-2(sec^2(x)sec^2(x)+2sec^2(x)tan(x)tan(x)]}{6}\\\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{[ -cos(x)-2(sec^4(x)+2sec^2(x)tan^2(x)]}{6}\\$
