If f(x)=x^3−x, what is the average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [1, 5]? a)29.5 b)30 c)43 d)120

1 answer:

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= x^3-x \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=1\\
x_2=5
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[5^3-5]~-~[1^3-1]}{4}\implies \cfrac{125-5~~-~~0}{4}\implies \cfrac{120}{4}\implies 30$

h^2=4.6

h=2 square root of 6

h^2+6^2=base^2

24+36=base^2

base=2square root of 15

h^2+4^2=height^2

24+16=height^2

height=2 square root of 10

Solve exponential equation<br> 1/16=64^4x-3

RoseWind [281]

Fraction form: x=7/12

Steps:

64^4x-3

2^6(4x-3)=2^-4

6(4x-3)=-4

4x-3=-2/3

4x=7/3

X=7/12

Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of

Gnoma [55]

It is given in the question that

Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of 89 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Ann sent 9 fewer messages than Chang. Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann.

Let number of messages Chang sent be x. And Ann sent 9 fewer than Chang, so Ann sent (x-9) messages. And Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann, so Kareem sent 3(x-9) messages.

And the total messages are 89. That is

$x+x-9+3(x-9)=89$

Combining like terms

$x + x - 9 + 3x-27 =89
\\
5x -36=89
\\
5x = 125
\\
x =25$

So Chang sent 25 messages, Ann sent

$25-9=16 messages$

And Kareem sent

$3*16 = 48 messages$
