The area of the garden would be 192 square feet. When you divide the area of his backyard by the side known, you find the missing side. The missing side is 24, which means that is the other leg of the triangle. By using the area formula for a right triangle you find the answer.
First we need to find f(2) and f(5), which are 5 and 11 respectively; all you have to do is plug in 2 and 5.
Then, we use the following formula:
(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a),
where b and a are the largest and smallest x values respectively.
Finally, we plug our values in:
(11-5)/(5-2)=6/3=2
In fact, the average rate of change of any linear function is just the coefficient of the x term. Hope this helped!
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
The football team needed to buy Gatorade for Saturday's big game. They have two options. The first option is they can buy it pre-made in 48 ounces bottles for $3.84 for each bottle. Or they can buy packets and mix with water. Each packet makes 64 ounces and will cost $4.80.
a) Find the cost per ounce of each.
b) Which size costs less?
c) The team will need to buy 192 ounces of Gatorade. How much do you save using the choice from answer b?
Answer: a) Pre-made: $0.08 cost per ounce; Packet: $0.075 cost per ounce
b) Packets
c) Save $0.96.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Cost per ounce:
<u>Pre-made:</u>
= 0.08
<u>Packet:</u>
<u />
= 0.075
b) Comparing costs per ounce, packets costs less than pre-made.
c) Buying packets, the cost will be:
0.075*192 = $14.4
Buying pre-made:
0.08*192 = $15.36
Comparing costs, pre-made is 0.96 more than packets, so <u>they will save </u><u>96 cents</u>.
