Answer:
8428
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question,
- Given, A theater has 56 rows of seats. If there are 13 seats in the first row, 18 in the 2nd row, 23 in the 3rd row.
We have a number sequence 13, 18, 23, ...
- We can say that this is an arithmetic sequence because of the common difference 'd', is equal to 5, and the first term 'a1' is equal to 13.
- The formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence with n terms is given is
![S_n= \frac{n}{2} [2a_1+(n-1)d]S](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_n%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%20%5B2a_1%2B%28n-1%29d%5DS)
.
Substitute the given values into the equation to solve for the sum of the 56 rows of seats.
![S_56= \frac{56}{2}[2(13)+(56-1)(5)]\\S_{56}=28\left[26+275\right]\\S_{56}=28\left[301\right]\\S_{56}=8428](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_56%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B56%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%2813%29%2B%2856-1%29%285%29%5D%5C%5CS_%7B56%7D%3D28%5Cleft%5B26%2B275%5Cright%5D%5C%5CS_%7B56%7D%3D28%5Cleft%5B301%5Cright%5D%5C%5CS_%7B56%7D%3D8428)
Therefore, there are 8428 seats in all.
Answers:
The formula is [f(-1)-f(-4)]/[3]
The value of f(-1) is 3
The value of f(-4) is -3
The average rate of change is 2
==============================================
Explanation:
For the first blank, we use the formula
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]
where 'a' and 'b' are the endpoints for the x interval
In this case, a = -4 and b = -1. When you plug those values into the formula above, you get...
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ -1 - (-4) ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ -1+4 ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
which is why the answer is choice C for the first blank
-------------------------------------------
To compute the value of f(-1), we draw a vertical line through -1 on the x axis. This vertical line crosses the diagonal function graph at the point (-1,3). The y value of this point is what we want. Plugging in x = -1 leads to y = 3. This is why f(-1) = 3
If you want, you can draw a horizontal line through (-1,3) and you'll see it touching 3 on the y axis.
-------------------------------------------
Follow similar steps as above to compute f(-4). Draw a vertical line through x = -4 on the x axis. Mark the point where the vertical line crosses the diagonal line. This point is (-4,-3). Optionally draw a horizontal line over til you hit the y axis and you'll find that y = -3 corresponds to x = -4
This is why f(-4) = -3
-------------------------------------------
We'll use the last three sections to compute the average rate of change. Everything combines together building up to this moment.
From the first part, we had the formula
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
We can replace the "f(-1)" with 3 since we found that f(-1) = 3
Similarly, f(-4) = -3 so we can replace the "f(-4)" with -3
Doing those replacements and simplifying leads to...
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
[ 3 - (-3)]/[ 3 ]
[ 3 + 3]/[ 3 ]
6/3
2
So the average rate of change is 2
Note: because the entire graph is a straight line, the average rate of change for any interval a < x < b is going to be equal to the slope m. In this case, the slope of the line is m = 2/1 = 2. We move up 2 units each time we move to the right 1 unit along the diagonal line.
2.80 is more than 2, i would round it.
So sorry if this is wrong :(
6:15 is in ratio form..... If you mean fraction form, a ratio is equivalent to a fraction, so the answer is 6/15
A. seven tents b. seven hundredths c. seven tents
