Is there a picture that goes with it ?
No the following coordinates do not show a function because of the y-values. In the pairs that you have, (3,5) and (0,5) have the y-values of "5" that are repeating.
Hope this helps. I learned that in math.
8x + 4 = 5x - 11
Subtract 5x from both sides:
3x + 4 = -11
Subtract 4 from both sides:
3x = -15
Divide both sides by 3:
x = -5
Answer : x = -5
Start with the general formula. The key word is difference. So the general formula is
D(x) = W(x) - R(x) Now substitute in the values for W(x) and R(x)
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - (x^2 - 4x + 13) Be very careful about the sign in front of the brackets.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 13 Do you see what that minus sign did? It affected all 3 terms.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 1.01x^2 + 4x - 13 <em>Note: -0.01 - 1x^2 = - 1.01 x^2</em>
That gives you a clear cut answer
C<<<<< answer.
That sign is the worst part of the question. Make sure you understand what it did.
The average rate of change of <em>f(x)</em> on -3 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 3 is given to be
(<em>f</em> (3) - <em>f</em> (-3)) / (3 - (-3)) = -2.5
If <em>f</em> (-3) = 14, then
(<em>f</em> (3) - 14) / (3 + 3) = -2.5
(<em>f</em> (3) - 14) / 6 = -2.5
<em>f</em> (3) - 14 = -15
<em>f</em> (3) = -1
