We have been given that on a coordinate plane a line with negative slope passes through points
and
. We are asked to find the rate of the change of the function.
We know that slope represents rate of change of function.
We will use slope formula to solve our given problem.

Let
and
.



Therefore, the rate of change of the given function is
.

30% chance the reason I say that is because he only has 1 kiwi and for the most part he would choose the Kiwi first don't quote me on that just trying to help
Answer:
The values of x for which the model is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function for the volume of the shipping box is given as follows;
V = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x
The function will make sense when V ≥ 0, which is given as follows
When V = 0, x = 0
Which gives;
0 = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x
0 = 2·x² - 19·x + 39
0 = x² - 9.5·x + 19.5
From an hint obtained by plotting the function, we have;
0 = (x - 3)·(x - 6.5)
We check for the local maximum as follows;
dV/dx = d(2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x)/dx = 0
6·x² - 38·x + 39 = 0
x² - 19/3·x + 6.5 = 0
x = (19/3 ±√((19/3)² - 4 × 1 × 6.5))/2
∴ x = 1.288, or 5.045
At x = 1.288, we have;
V = 2·1.288³ - 19·1.288² + 39·1.288 ≈ 22.99
V ≈ 22.99 in.³
When x = 5.045, we have;
V = 2·5.045³ - 19·5.045² + 39·5.045≈ -30.023
Therefore;
V > 0 for 0 < x < 3 and V < 0 for 3 < x < 6.5
The values of x for which the model makes sense and V ≥ 0 is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3.
