Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Discussion:
x \3x - 2 = (x/3)*x - 2 = (x^2)/3 - 2 (*)
1 \3x - 4 = (1/3)x - 4 (**)
(*) = (**) =>
(x^2)/3 -2 = (1/3)x - 4 => multiply both sides by 3
x^2 - 6 = x - 12 => subtract x from both sides
x^2 -x -6 = -12 => add 12 to both sides
x^2-x +6 = 0
Using the quadratic formula gives:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Thank you,
MrB
Answer: Order from Least to Greatest
2/6 < 4/10 < 5/12 < 3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to calculate the average rate of change is: y/x
y = f(x2) - f(x1)x = x2 - x1
x1: 1 (The smaller x value. It can be any number)x2: 2 (The larger x value. It also can be any number)f(x1): The value when you plug x1 into the function.f(x2): The value when you plug x2 into the function.
If we know this, the variables for this problem are assuming the function is 10(5.5)^x:
x2: 2x1: 1f(x2): 10(5.5)^(2) = 302.5f(x1): 10(5.5)^(1)= 55
This means:y = 302.5 - 55 = 247.5x = 2 - 1 = 1
Remember: the equation for avg rate of change is y/x
So, our average rate of change for the function on the interval [1,2] is 247.5 (y/x = 247.5/1)
