Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b = -1 and a = -3
The average rate of change = 
f(b) = f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2
f(a) = f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 5 =27 - 5 = 22
f(b) - f(a) = -2 - 22 = -24
b - a = -1 + 3 = 2
= -24/2 = -12
Answer:
The equation has no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
If we re arrange the equation a little more we will obtain the following
|x|=-11
Which is a contradiction since, the |x| is always a positive number
Attached is the representation of this function y= |x|
It means, that it doesnt matter what value 'x' has, the answer is the same number but, positive
-2x+4≥2x-8, 12≥4x, 3≥x, x≤3 so all values in the set satisfy the equality.
