Arrange these functions from the greatest to least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval.

Let us create a table that evaluates the slope of each function within its specified interval.

Define
[x1,x2] = the specified interval
f1 = f(x1)
f2 = f(x2)

The average rate of change is the slope, calculated as
Slope = (f2 - f1)/(x2 - x1)

f(x) Interval x2-x1 f1 f2 Slope
----------- ----------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------
x² + 3x [-2, 3] 5 -2 18 4
3x - 8 [4, 5] 1 4 7 3
x² - 2x [-3, 4] 7 15 8 -1
x² - 5 [-1, 1] 2 -4 -4 0

Answer:
In order of the greatest slope to the lowest slope, the order of the functions is 1, 2, 4 and 3. That is,
1. f(x) = x² + 3x
2. f(x) = 3x - 8
4. f(x) = x² - 5
3. f(x) = x² - 2x

What is the solution of the inequality x^2-9x+18 less then or equal to zero? Graph solution.

Stels [109]

ANSWER

$3\le x\le6$

EXPLANATION

The given inequality is

${x}^{2} - 9x + 18 \leqslant 0$

This is the same as

$(x - 3)(x - 6) \leqslant 0$

The corresponding equation is

$(x - 3)(x - 6)= 0$

By the zero product principle,

$x = 3 \: or \: x = 6$

We now plot the boundaries and test for the region that satisfies the inequality.

See attachment.

From the graph the solution is

$3\le x\le6$

Solve for u.<br> |5u + 15| = 10

Rudiy27

Answer:

-1 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

You must account for negative u values (which the abs nullifies).

So $5u+15=10$ and $5u+15=-10$ is what we have to solve for.

As for usual equations, isolate the u variable.

5u + 15 = 10

5u + 15 (-15) = 10 (-15)

5u = -5

$\frac{5u}{5}=\frac{-5}{1}$

u = -1

Now you can do the same operation for the other equation and you should get u = -5.

Let's make sure we did it right by replacing u with one of our solutions (-1 or -5).

$|5(-1)+15| = 10\\10 = 10$

That's true. What about the other one?

$|5(-5)+15|=10\\10=10$
