We can compare 2 fractions by means of the cross multiplication method. In our case, we have

since 50 is greater than 24 then 10/12 is greater than 2/5:

$\frac{10}{12}>\frac{2}{5}$

Calculate the average rate of change for the function f(x) = x4 + 3x3 - 5x2 + 2x - 2, from x = -1 to x = 1

kolezko [41]

In interval <a, b> the average rate of change the function you count from this formula:
$x=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} \qquad b>a$
Here you've got a=-1 and b=1:
$f(a)=f(-1)=(-1)^4+3 \cdot (-1)^3 - 5 \cdot (-1)^2 +2 \cdot (-1)-2= \\ = 1-3-5-2-2=-11 \\ \\ f(b)=f(1)=1^4+3 \cdot 1^4 - 5 \cdot 1^2 + 2 \cdot 1 -2=1+3-5+2-2=-1 \\ \\ \hbox{So average rate of change this function is:} \\ \\ x= \frac{-1+11}{1+1}=\frac{10}{2}=5$

Arte-miy333 [17]

You first need to make the denominators on both fractions the same and how to do that is simple. What does 6 and 8 go into to? Well, the answer is 24. You multiply 5/6 into 4 and you should get 20/24. Then, you multiply 3/8 into 3 and you should get 9/24. Now the last part is easy, you just subtract 20/24 and 9/24 and you should get 11/24 as your answer. It cannot be simplified. Hope it helped.

Explain how to add linear expressions

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A linear expression is one that has a variable in it. Also, no variable is raised higher than a power of 1 or used as a denominator. So you can't divide by a variable. So if a linear equation is commonly expressed as "y= mx+b", a linear expression would be expressed as mx+b.
