A farmer is tracking the amount of corn his land is yielding each year. He finds that the function f(x) = −x2 + 20x + 50 models

the crops in pounds per acre over x years. Find and interpret the average rate of change from year 1 to year 10.
The crop yield increased by 9 pounds per acre from year 1 to year 10.
The crop yield decreased by 0.09 pounds per acre from year 1 to year 10.
The crop yield decreased by 11 pounds per acre from year 1 to year 10.
The crop yield increased by 99 pounds per acre from year 1 to year 10.

Answer:

The crop yield increased by 9 pounds per acre from year 1 to year 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we are using the average rate of change formula: Av=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}, where:

x_2 is the second point in the function

x_1 is the first point in the function

f(x_2) is the function evaluated at the second point

f(x_1) is the function evaluated at the first point

We know that the first point is 1 year and the second point is 10 years, so x_1=1 and x_2=10. Replacing values:

Av=\frac{-(10)^2+20(10)+50-[-(1)^2+20(1)+50]}{10-1}

Av=\frac{-100+200+50-[-1+20+50]}{9}

Av=\frac{150-[69]}{9}

Av=\frac{150-69}{9}

Av=\frac{81}{9}

Av=9

Since f(x) represents the number of pounds per acre and x the number of years, we can conclude that the crop yield increased by 9 pounds per acre from year 1 to year 10.

7 - 3x = 3 ( 3- x ) - 2<br><br> Please help &amp; show how you got to the answer
Leokris [45]
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
7−3x=3(3−x)−2
7+−3x=(3)(3)+(3)(−x)+−2(Distribute)
7+−3x=9+−3x+−2
−3x+7=(−3x)+(9+−2)(Combine Like Terms)
−3x+7=−3x+7
−3x+7=−3x+7
Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.
−3x+7+3x=−3x+7+3x
7=7
Step 3: Subtract 7 from both sides.
7−7=7−7
0=0
So all real numbers
