Help Please! Given the function f(x) = 5x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3. Part A: Find t

he average rate of change of each section. Part B: How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A? Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other.

The question is defective, or at least is trying to lead you down the primrose path.

The function is linear, so the rate of change is the same no matter what interval
(section) of it you're looking at.

The "rate of change" is just the slope of the function in the section.  That's

         (change in f(x) ) / (change in 'x') between the ends of the section.

<u>In Section A:</u>
Length of the section = (1 - 0) = 1
f(1) = 5
f(0) = 0
change in the value of the function = (5 - 0) = 5
Rate of change =
           (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1  =<em>  5</em>

<u>In Section B:</u>
Length of the section = (3 - 2) = 1
f(3) = 15
f(2) = 10
change in the value of the function = (15 - 10) = 5
Rate of change =
           (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1  = <em> 5

</em>
<u>Part A:</u>
The average rate of change of each section is 5.

<u>Part B:</u>
<span><span>The average rate of change of Section B is equal to
t</span>he average rate of change of Section A.

<u>Explanation:</u>
The average rates of change in every section are equal
because the function is linear, its graph is a straight line,
and the rate of change is just the slope of the graph.

What is the exponent on 10 when you right 5.3 in scientific notation?
salantis [7]
It is zero

the answer is 5.3 x 10^0
because 10^1 would force you to move the decimal place to make it 53

I hope this helps!

Suppose a population of deer in the state is 10, 289 and is growing 1% each year. Predict the population after 5 years
eimsori [14]

Answer: the population after 5 years is 10814

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth of the deer is exponential. We would apply the formula for determining exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r)^t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

n represents the period of growth

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 10289

r = 1% = 1/100 = 0.01,

t = 5 years

Therefore,

A = 10289(1 + 0.01)^5

A = 10289(1.01)^5

A = 10814
