To find the average rate of change of given function f(x) on a given interval (a,b):
Find f(b)-f(a), b-a, and then divide your result for f(b)-f(a) by your result for b-a:
f(b) - f(a)
------------
b-a
Here your function is f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3. Substituting b=5 and a=-2,
f(5) = 5^2 -2(5)+3 =? and f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 3 = ?
Calculate f(5) - [ f(-2) ]
------------------ using your results, above.
5 - [-2]
Your answer to this, if done correctly, is the "average rate of change of the function f(x) = x^2+2x+3 on the interval [-2,5]."
Which pair shows equivalent expressions?
A.2(2/5x + 2)=2 2/5x + 1
B.2(2/5x + 2)=4/5x + 4
C.2(2/5x + 4)=4/5x + 2
D.2(2/5x + 4)=2 2/5x + 8
Solution:

Let us distribute 2 inside the parenthesis.
That is, we use distributive property:
a(b+c)=ab+ac

So, 
Answer:Option (b)

Applying distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+ac



So, Option (B) is correct.
Answer:
The required position of the particle at time t is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided matrix.



The general solution of the equation 

Substitute the respective values we get:


Substitute initial condition 

Reduce matrix to reduced row echelon form.

Therefore, 
Thus, the general solution of the equation 


The required position of the particle at time t is: 
0.4 is four tenths. 0.4 = 4/10=2/5
