$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average\ rate\\
of\ change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{y}{f(x)}= -3x+2 \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=-3\\
x_2=4
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(4)-f(-3)}{4-(-3)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[-3(4)+2]~~-~~[-3(-3)+2]}{4+3}\implies \cfrac{-10~~-~~[11]}{7}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-21}{7}\implies \cfrac{-3}{1}\implies -3$

bulgar [2K]

Answer: $44.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P = equal prices games

The equation would be

249.99+2p=339.97

Subtract 249.99 from each side

2p=339.97

Divide by two and you got the answer.

X dy/dx +2y =x^2logx by using Bernoulli's Equation

inna [77]

This ODE isn't of Bernoulli type, but it is linear, so we should be able to find an integrating factor to solve it.

$x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+2y=x^2\log x\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac2xy=x\log x$

The integrating factor will be

$\mu(x)=\exp\left(\displaystyle\int\frac2x\,\mathrm dx\right)=x^2$

Multiplying both sides of the ODE by the IF gives

$x^2\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+2xy=x^3\log x$
$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}[x^2y]=x^3\log x$
$x^2y=\displaystyle\int x^3\log x\,\mathrm dx$

Integrate the right hand side by parts to get

$x^2y=\dfrac14x^4\log x-\dfrac1{16}x^4+C$
$y=\dfrac14x^2\log x-\dfrac1{16}x^2+\dfrac C{x^2}$
