Answer:

a. -5

b.-5

c.-5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the average rate of change of a function , we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.

Generally, the average rate of change (ARC) on an ecuatios  between two points (x1,f(x1)) and (x2,f(x2)) is

  • ARC = [f(x2)-f(x1)]/ (x2-x1)

<em>In case a)</em>

f(-1)= -5*(-1)-8=5-8= -3          f(3)= -5*3-8= -23

Then ARC= (-23-(-3))/(3-(-1))=-20/4=-5

<em>In case b)</em>

f(a)= (-5a-8)

f(b)= (-5b-8)

Then ARC= [(-5b-8)-(-5a-8)]/(b-a)= (-5b+5a)/(b-a)= -5(b-a)/(b-a)= -5

<em>In case c)</em>

f(x)= -5x-8

f(x+h)= -5(x+h)-8= -5x-5h-8

then ARC= [(-5x-5h-8)-(-5x-8)]/(x+h-x) =-5h/h= -5

A carpenter is assigned the job of expanding a rectangular deck where the width is one-fourth the length. The length of the deck
leva [86]
Let the width be W, then the length is 4W (since the width is 1/4 the length)

The area of the original deck is W*4W=4W^{2}

The dimensions of the new deck are :

length = 4W+6
width=W+2

so the area of the new deck is :

(4W+6)(W+2)= 4W^{2}+8W+6W+12= 4W^{2}+14W+12

"<span>the area of the new rectangular deck is 68 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck</span>" means that we write the equation:

4W^{2}+14W+12=68+4W^{2}

14W+12=68

14W=68-12=56

W= \frac{56}{14}= 4

the length is 4W=4*4=16    ft


Answer: width: 4, length: 16

Solve the equation : 3x - 2 = 4x + 5<br>How many solutions are there?​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - 2 = 4x + 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

- x - 2 = 5 ( add 2 to both sides )

- x = 7 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 7 ← the one solution

The claim is that the standard deviation of the speeds of drivers in Bradford is 8 mph. An experienced driver feels that this is
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Null hypothesis is rejected. Standard deviation is > 8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

σ [Population standard deviation] = 8 , s [sample standard deviation] = s

n [no of items] = 8

H0 [Null] : σ = 8 ; H1 [Alternate - Right Tail] : σ > 8

χ2 = (n - 1) . s^2 / σ^2

= 49 x (10.5)^2 / 82 = 5402.25 / 64

χ2 = 84.410

df [degree of freedom] = n -1 = 50 - 1 = 49

P value (χ^2 49 > 84.410) = 0.00125

p = 0.0013

p < α ie 0.05

So, H0 is rejected

Hence we state that standard deviation is > 8 miles per hpur

Justin is on a road trip. Over the past two days, he’s driven a total distance of 504 miles at an average speed of 56 miles/hour
irakobra [83]
Recall d  = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, he has a speed rate of 56 mph for a distance of 504

\bf d=rt\implies 504=56t\implies \cfrac{504}{56}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{9}=t

so, at that speed the whole driving time is 9 hours then.  Ok, he drove 2 hours today, that means he drove 7 yesterday, 9 - 2.

how many miles is it for 7 hours at 56mph?  d = rt ---> d = 56 * 7

that many miles he drove yesterday.
