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 metalworker has a metal alloy that is 15​% copper and another alloy that is 75​% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy shou
lisov135 [29]

48 kilograms of 15 % copper is combined with 72 kilograms of 75 % copper to create 120 kg of a 51​% copper​ alloy

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the kilograms of 15 % copper

Then, (120 - x) be the kilograms of 75 % copper

Then, according to question,

"x" kilograms of 15 % copper is combined with (120 - x) kilograms of 75 % copper to create 120 kg of a 51​% copper​ alloy

Thus we frame a equation as:

15 % of x + 75 % of (120 - x) = 51 % of 120

<em><u>Solve the equation for "x"</u></em>

15 \% \times x + 75 \% \times (120-x) = 51 \% \times 120\\\\\frac{15}{100} \times x + \frac{75}{100} \times (120-x) = \frac{51}{100} \times 120\\\\0.15x + 0.75(120-x) = 0.51 \times 120\\\\0.15x + 90 - 0.75x = 61.2\\\\0.6x = 90 - 61.2\\\\0.6x = 28.8\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.6\\\\x = 48

Thus 48 kilograms of 15 % copper used

Then, (120 - x) = (120 - 48) = 72

Thus, 72 kilograms of 75 % copper is used
