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

O is the midpoint of segment FG. FO=3x+17, OG=7x-15. <br><br><br> 98 points
AlladinOne [14]

O is the midpoint so both sides FO and OG need to equal each other.

3x + 17 = 7x - 15

Subtract 3x from both sides:

17 = 4x -15

Add 15 to both sides:

32 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 32/4

X = 8

Now you have the value of X, solve for the lengths:

FO = 3x +17 = 3(8) +17 = 24 +17 = 41

OG = 7x -15 = 7(8) -15 = 56-15 = 41

Total length would be 41 + 41 = 82
