For this case what we should do is evaluate the function in each of the points from 2 to 7 and then find the average.
We have then:
f (x) = ln (3x) +2.5.
f (2) = ln (3 * 2) + 2.5 = 4.291759469
f (3) = ln (3 * 3) + 2.5 = 4.697224577
f (4) = ln (3 * 4) + 2.5 = 4.98490665
f (5) = ln (3 * 5) + 2.5 = 5.208050201
f (6) = ln (3 * 6) + 2.5 = 5.390371758
f (7) = ln (3 * 7) + 2.5 = 5.544522438
Then the average is:
Average = (4.291759469 + 4.697224577 + 4.98490665 + 5.208050201 + 5.390371758 + 5.544522438) / (6) = 5.019472516

5.02
Answer:
the average rate of change of f (x) from 2 to 7 is 5.02
Step-by-step explanation:
7 students were in the van so 187 - 7 = 180. 180 ÷ 4 = 45, there were 45 students on each bus. Not sure if this makes total sense, hope it helps
Answer:
- strong negative linear correlation
- -0.986
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to notice that when altitude goes up, temperature goes down. That means the correlation is negative.
The table shows the temperature decrease to be monotonic (nowhere does it go up when altitude increases), so the correlation is strong.
The strong negative correlation number available to you is -0.986.
___
If you want confirmation, you can put the numbers into your favorite graphing calculator and tell it to compute the correlation for you.
