Water coming out of a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = −x^2 + 5x + 4 where f(x) represents the height, in feet, of the

water from the fountain at different times x, in seconds. What does the average rate of change of f(x) from x = 3 to x = 5 represent?
A. The water falls down with an average speed of 3 feet per second from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
B. The water falls down with an average speed of 5 feet per second from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
C. The water travels an average distance of 3 feet from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
D. The water travels an average distance of 5 feet from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.

Calculating x=3 and x=5, we get f(x)=10 and 4 respectively by plugging the numbers into the equation. Finding the difference and dividing by 2 (since there are 2 seconds between 3 and 5), we get 3, so the answer is either A or C. Since it doesn't only fall 3 feet, we need to specify that it is 3 feet per second, A is right!

Answer:

The correct option is A) The water falls down with an average speed of 3 feet per second from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

f(x)=-x^2+5x+4 where f(x) represents the height, in feet.

Substitute the value of x = 3 in the provided equation.

f(3) = -x^2 +5x +4

f(3) = -(3)^2 +5(3)+4

f(3) = -9+15+4

f(3) = 10

Now, substitute the value of x = 5 in the provided equation.

f(5) = -x^2 +5x +4

f(5) = -5^2 +5(5) +4

f(5) = -25+25 +4

f(5) = 4

Now, to find the average rate of change of f(x) from x = 3 to x = 5.

Calculate the difference of f(5) and f(3) and divide it by 2, because the difference between 3 and 5 is 2.

\frac{f(3)-f(5) }{2}

\frac{10-4}{2}

\frac{6}{2}=3

The water falls down with an average speed of 3 feet per second from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.

Thus, the correct option is A) The water falls down with an average speed of 3 feet per second from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.

Given AQRS-AXYZ, what is the value of tan(Q)?<br><br> A) 3/5<br> B) 3/4<br> C) 4/5<br> D) 4/3
iren [92.7K]

The answer is B.

Since ΔQRS ~ ΔXYZ, the value of tan(Q) is :

  • ∠Q = ∠X
  • tan(Q) = tan(X)
  • tan(X) = 3/4
  • tan(Q) = 3/4

The sum of the first terms of an Arithmetic progression (Ap) is 130.if the fifth term is 3times,the first term,find the (a)commo
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

For part a)

130 = 10/2[2a+(10-1)d]

Simplify, u get

2a + 9d = 26.................(1)

Also U5 = a + (5-1)d = 3a

Simplify, u get

a= 2d...................(2)

Substituting for a in equation 1,

2(2d)+9d= 26

Solving for d, we get

d = 2

In part b) substituting for d in equation 2 to get the first term

a = 2(2) = 4

Part c) the no. of terms required can be obtained by solving

28 = 4+(n-1)2

n = 13
