Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data  

x  1   2  3  4  5  

f(x)  243  81  27  9  3

The rate of change between the second and the first points is computed as  

(f(x2) - f(x1))/(x2 -x1) =  (81 - 243)/(2-1) = -162

Analogously, between 3rd and 2nd points and between  4th and 3rd points:

27 - 81 = -54

9 - 27 = -18

Therefore, the average rate of change is (-162 -54 -18)/3 = -78 contestants per round, and it represents the average rate at which the number of contestants changed from the first round to the fourth round .

The diagram below shows a rectangle with a shaded region. What is the area, in square meters, of the shaded region in the diagra
Mila [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region= area of rectangle- area of triangle

Area of rectangle= l×b

                            =9×3

                            = 27m²

Area of triangle= \frac{1}{2} b×h

                        =\frac{1}{2} ×3×3

                        =\frac{9}{2} ⇒4.5

Area of shaded region= area of rectangle- area of triangle

                                     =27-4.5

                                     =22.5m²

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

He has 10 nickels and 5 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can take advantage of the ratio by dividing 40 by 8, giving us that every 1 in the ratio = 5. So we can multiply 2 x 5 = 10 and 1 x 5 = 5.

Hope this Helps!
