Answer: fluffy is 11 years old

Scuffy is 8 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the present age of Fluffy the cat.

Let y represent the present age of Scuffy the dog.

Fluffy the cat is 3 years older than Scuffy the dog. This means that

x = y + 3 - - - - - -- - - - - 1

Six less than five times Scruffy's age is one more than three times Fluffy's age. This means that

5y - 6 = 3x + 1

5y - 3x = 1 + 6

5y - 3x = 7 - - - - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

5y - 3(y + 3) = 7

5y - 3y - 9 = 7

5y - 3y = 7 + 9

2y = 16

y = 16/2 = 8

x = y + 3

x = 8 + 3 = 11

Which of the following statement(s) describes the rate of change of f over the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3? Select all that apply.
Vesnalui [34]

2 Answers: Choice B and Choice C

The rate of change is 2.

The rate of change is constant.

======================================================

Explanation:

The first point on the left is when x = 1.5 and it has a height of y = 1

The point (1.5, 1) is on the line.

So is the point (3,4) for similar reasoning.

Compute the slope between those points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (4-1)/(3-1.5)

m = 3/(1.5)

m = 2

The slope is 2, which is the same as saying the rate of change is 2. This only applies when x > 1 of which the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3  is a part of.

Since the slope stays at 2 on the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3, this means we consider the slope to be constant. If the curve bended at all on this interval, then it wouldn't be a constant slope.

Why is the answer D?
Sedaia [141]

Step-by-step explanation:

Inflection points are where a function changes concavity (the second derivative changes signs).  At x = 4, f"(x) goes from negative to positive, so that's an inflection point.  However, at x = 8, we don't know if f"(x) changes signs or not.  So we can't say that that's an inflection point.
