A "rational expression" is a fraction in which the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials. The sum of two such expressions will always produce another such expression, viz.,
<span>p(x)/q(x) + r(x)/s(x) = [p(x)s(x) + q(x)r(x)] / [q(x)*s(x)]. </span>
<span>The numerator and denominator of the sum will both be polynomials when fully expanded</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
11.04 = 10(1.02)^n
1.104 = 1.02^n
ln 1.104 = ln 1.02^n
ln 1.104 = n ln 1.02
n = ln 1.104/ ln 1.02
n = 4.99630409516
4.99 can be rounded to 5.
So a reasonable domain would be 0 ≤ x < 5
PART B)
f(0) = 10(1.02)^0
f(0) = 10(1)
f(0) = 10
The y-intercept represents the height of the plant when they began the experiment.
f(1) = 10(1.02)^1
f(1) = 10(1.02)
f(1) = 10.2
(1, 10.2)
f(5) = 10(1.02)^5
f(5) = 10(1.1040808)
f(5) = 11.040808
f(1)=10(1.02)^1
f(1)=10.2
Average rate= (fn2-fn1)/(n2-n1)
=11.04-10.2/(5-1)
=0.22
the average rate of change of the function f(n) from n = 1 to n = 5 is 0.22.
B is the answer I chose but there are the steps so you can see how to solve it
