Part A:
The average rate of change refers to a function's slope. Thus, we are going to need to use the slope formula, which is:

and
are points on the function
You can see that we are given the x-values for our interval, but we are not given the y-values, which means that we will need to find them ourselves. Remember that the y-values of functions refers to the outputs of the function, so to find the y-values simply use your given x-value in the function and observe the result:




Now, let's find the slopes for each of the sections of the function:
<u>Section A</u>

<u>Section B</u>

Part B:
In this case, we can find how many times greater the rate of change in Section B is by dividing the slopes together.

It is 25 times greater. This is because
is an exponential growth function, which grows faster and faster as the x-values get higher and higher. This is unlike a linear function which grows or declines at a constant rate.
Answer:
Slope <em>m</em> = 3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Algebra I</u>
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
- m - slope
- b - y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
y = -1 + 3x
<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>
<em>Rearrange</em>
y = 3x - 1
<u>Step 3: Break Function</u>
<em>Identify parts</em>
Slope <em>m</em> = 3
y-intercept <em>b</em> = -1
Answer:
First one:
Both the mean and median are greater for Plot A than for Plot B
Step-by-step explanation:
Set A:
Mean:
[1×10 + 2×7 + 2×6 + 2×5 + 2×4 + 1×3]/10
= 5.7
Median:
Median position: (10+1)/2 = 5.5th value
(5+6)/2
Median = 5.5
Set B:
Mean:
[1×7 + 3×6 + 3×5 + 2×4 + 1×3]/10
= 5.1
Median:
Median position: (10+1)/2 = 5.5th value
(5+5)/2
Median = 5
Mean: A is greater
Median: A is greater
Answer:
The closest measurement to the volume of hat is 84.82 in.³.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The dimensions of hat are height(h) 9 inches and diameter(d) 6 inches.
Now, to find the volume of cone:
Putting the formula
.
Radius(r) is not given, finding the radius:
Radius(r)=half of the diameter(d)


.
Then, 
=
=
(
)
=
=
=
in.³
So, the volume is 84.78 in.³ .
Therefore, the closest measurement to the volume of hat is 84.82 in.³.
