Given:
Consider the given function is:

To find:
The average rate of change of the function over the interval
.
Solution:
The average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval [a,b] is:

We have,

At
,



At
,



Now, the average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval
is:




Therefore, the average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval
is -3.
It would be 45 cups because each number is multiplied by 5
2 x 5 = 10
3 x 5 = 15
4 x 5 = 20
9 x 5 = 45
ANSWER
The solution is

EXPLANATION
The given equations are:

and

We multiply equation 1 by 3 to get,

We multiply equation 2 also by 2 to get,

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3 to get,

This implies that,

We put this value of y into any of the equations say equation 2

Simplify

Group like terms

Simplify,

Divide both sides by 3 to get,

Therefore the solution is

The correct answer is option D.
Answer: B. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the compound amount (compounded yearly):-
, where P is the principal amount invested, is the rate of interest and t is time period.
As per given , we have
P=$5500 , r=5% = 0.05 and A = $7,739.05.
Substitute all the values in the formula , we get


Hence, the equation describes Meredith's investment based on t, the number of years she kept the account open :
