Explain the difference between the average rate of change of y as x changes from a to b, and the instantaneous rate of change of

y at x=a.
A. The average rate of change of y as x changes from a to b can be found using the formula ​, where y​f(x). The instantaneous rate of change of y at xa is found by taking the limit as b approaches a of the stated formula.
B. The average rate of change of y as x changes from a to b can be found by using the formula ​, where y​f(x). The instantaneous rate of change of y at xa is found by taking the limit as b approaches a of the stated formula.
C. The instantaneous rate of change of y at xa can be found by using the formula ​, where y​f(x). The average rate of change of y as x changes from a to b is found by taking the limit as b approaches a of the stated formula.
D. The instantaneous rate of change of y at xa can be found using the formula ​, where y​f(x). The average rate of change of y as x changes from a to b is found by taking the limit as b approaches a of the stated formula.

The given options are not clear enough, so i have attached the full question with the correct options.

Answer:

Option A:

Average rate of change=[f(b) - f(a)]/(b-a)

Instantaneous rate of change of y at x = a is found by finding the limit as "b" approaches "a"

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) on an interval [a, b] is defined as the slope of the secant line, which is calculated by the formula;

[f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a)

While the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = a is defined as the slope of the tangent line, which is calculated by finding the limit as "b" approaches "a". This is written as; f'(a) .

Looking at the options, the correct answer is option A.

1-25. Given f(x) =- 2/3x +3 and g(x) = 2x2 - 5, complete parts (a) through (f).
Korolek [52]

Answer:

When f or g are equivalent to a number you are solving for x. For example b, d, e, f. In the equation g(x) =2x2-5 I assumed 2 was a typo. So, if it's incorrect, please use same steps and just adjust the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-\frac{2}{3x}+3

a) f(3)=-\frac{2}{2(3)} +3

           =-\frac{1}{3}+3 =\frac{-1+6}{3} =\frac{5}{3}

b) f(x)=-5

      -5=-\frac{2}{3x}+3

      -8=-\frac{2}{3x}

  -24x=-2

        x=\frac{1}{12}

g(x)=2x-5

c) g(-3)=2(-3)-5

               =-6-5

               =-11

d) g(x)=-7

      -7=2x-5

      -2=2x

        x=-1

e) g(x)=8

        8=2x-5

       12=2x

        x=6

f)  g(x)=9

         9=2x-5

        11=2x

         x=\frac{11}{2}

Does each function describe exponential growth or decay?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Hey Jinx :)

------------------------------------------------

Note that a decay has a rate between 0 and 1, and a growth as a rate of 1 or higher.

y = 1/2(1 + 0.03)^t → y = 1/2(1.03)^t (Rate is more then 0) GROWTH

y = 0.3(0.95)^t → (Rate is between 0 and 1) DECAY

y = ((1+0.03)^1/2)^2t → y = y = 1.014^2t (Rate is more then 0) GROWTH

y = 200(0.73)^t → (Rate is between 0 and 1) DECAY

y = 4(1/4)^t → (Rate is between 0 and 1) DECAY

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
