Answer: -4x+5>-5=x>2.5
-25>-5(x+2.5)=x<2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x+5>-5 -25>-5(x+2.5)
-5 -5 -25>-5x-12.5
-4x>-10 +12.5 +12.5
/-4 /-4 -12.5>-5x
x>2.5 /-5 /-5
2.5>x
x<2.5
To find the average rate of change of given function f(x) on a given interval (a,b):
Find f(b)-f(a), b-a, and then divide your result for f(b)-f(a) by your result for b-a:
f(b) - f(a)
------------
b-a
Here your function is f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3. Substituting b=5 and a=-2,
f(5) = 5^2 -2(5)+3 =? and f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 3 = ?
Calculate f(5) - [ f(-2) ]
------------------ using your results, above.
5 - [-2]
Your answer to this, if done correctly, is the "average rate of change of the function f(x) = x^2+2x+3 on the interval [-2,5]."
