The average rate of change of a function, g(x), over an interval [a, b] is given by 

Average\ rate\ of\ change= \frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a}

Thus, the average rate of change of g(x)=-x^2-4x over the interval 6\leq x\leq8 is given by:

Average\ rate\ of\ change= \frac{[-(8)^2-4(8)]-[-(6)^2-4(6)]}{8-6} \\  \\ = \frac{(-64-32)-(-36-24)}{2} = \frac{-96-(-60)}{2} = \frac{-96+60}{2} = \frac{-36}{2}  \\  \\ -18

Is triangle COW ~ triangle PIG identify the similarity postulate or theorem that applies
ch4aika [34]
We can see that OW/IG = 5/15 = 1/3 and CW/PG = 7/21 = 1/3. So we have two ratios that result in the same value (1/3). We would need to know if CO/IP is also 1/3 as well, so we can use the SSS similarity theorem. However we don't have that information. So we can't use SSS. 

Alternatively, if we knew that angle CWO = angle PGI, then we can use the SAS similarity theorem. But that bit of info isn't given to us, so we can't use SAS either.

AA can't be used because we don't know anything about any pairs of angles. 

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

In short, the answer is choice D. It cannot be determined. There isn't enough information.

Researchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, the results from other research

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

Yes the researcher can  conclude that the supplement has a significant effect on cognitive skill

b

d =  0.5778

c

The result of this hypothesis test shows that there is sufficient evidence to  that the supplement had significant effect.The measure of effect size is  large due to the large value of Cohen's d (0.5778 > 0.30 )

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n=16

    The sample mean is  M  =  50.2

    The standard deviation is \sigma  = 9

    The  population mean is  \mu =  45

     The level of significance is  \alpha =  0.05

The null hypothesis is H_o  \mu =45

The alternative hypothesis is H_a  \mu \ne 45

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

          z =  \frac{M -  \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>       z =  \frac{50.2 - 45}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{16} } }

=>       z =  2.31

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

     p-value  =  2 *  P(Z >  z )

      p-value  =  2 *  P(Z >  2.31 )

From the z-table  

      P(Z >  2.31 ) = 0.010444

=>     p-value  =  2 *  0.010444

=>     p-value  =  0.021

From the obtained values we see that p-value <  0.05

 Decision Rule

 Reject the null hypothesis

Conclusion

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the supplement has a significant effect on the cognitive skill of elderly adults

Generally the Cohen's d for this study is mathematically represented as

    d =  \frac{M  -  \mu}{\sigma }

=>  d =  \frac{50.2 -45}{9 }

=>  d =  0.5778

Ashley and Kris are saving money for a vacation. Ashley currently has
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y = 50x + 2500

2) y = 200x + 1000

if we build a system with the two equations, we have:

50x+2500 = 200x + 1000

150x = 1500

x = 10

y = 2000 + 1000 = 3000

3) 10

4) $3000

12 workers build a wall in 10hours. How long do 5 workers build a wall​
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 workers take 10 hours to build a wall, assuming they build at the same rate, it would take one worker 120 hours to build a wall.

By this logic, it would take 120/5 or 24 hours for 5 workers to build a wall
