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.

Answer:

\huge \boxed{K=20}\checkmark

B. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First, you divide by 5 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>\displaystyle \frac{5k}{5}=\frac{100}{5}</em>

<em>Simplify, to find the answer.</em>

<em>\displaystyle 100\div5=20</em>

<em>\huge \boxed{K=20}, which is our answer.</em>

Answer:

<h2>(h + k)(2) = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(h+k)(x)=h(x)+k(x)\\\\\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\k(x)=x-2,\ h(x)=x^2+1\\\\(k+h)(2)=h(2)+k(2)\\\\\text{Calculate}\ h(2)\ \text{and}\ k(2).\\\text{Put}\ x=2\ \text{to the equations of the functions}\\\\h(2)=2^2+1=4+1=5\\k(2)=2-2=0\\\\\text\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(h+k)(2)=5+0=5

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\k(x)=x-2,\ h(x)=x^2+1\\\\(h+k)(x)=h(x)+k(x)=(x^2+1)+(x-2)=x^2+x-1\\\\(h+k)(2)-\text{put}\ x=2\\\\(h+k)(2)=2^2+2-1=4+2-1=6-1=5

If you cut 10 ounces of butter into 2/5 ounce pieces, how many
photoshop1234 [79]
2/5 plus 2/5 is five so we can assume if we multiply it by 4 it will be 10! 2/5 times 4 equals 10!!! Hope this helps! :D

3. The Food Marketing Institute shows that 17% of households spend more than $100 per week on groceries. Assume the population p
damaskus [11]

Answer:

A)sample proportion = 0.17,  the sampling distribution of p can be calculated/approximated with normal distribution of sample proportion = 0.17 and standard error/deviation = 0.013281

B) 0.869

C)0.9668

Step-by-step explanation:

A) p ( proportion of population that spends more than $100 per week) = 0.17

sample size (n)= 800

the sample proportion of p = 0.17

standard error of p = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } = 0.013281

the sampling distribution of p can be calculated/approximated with

normal distribution of sample proportion = 0.17 and standard error/deviation = 0.013281

B) probability that the sample proportion will be +-0.02 of the population proportion

= p (0.17 - 0.02 ≤ P ≤ 0.17 + 0.02 ) = p( 0.15 ≤ P ≤ 0.19)

z value corresponding to P

Z = \frac{P - p}{standard deviation}

at P = 0.15

Z =  (0.15 - 0.17) / 0.013281 = = -1.51

at P = 0.19

z = ( 0.19 - 0.17) / 0.013281 = 1.51

therefore the required probability will be

p( -1.5 ≤ z ≤ 1.5 ) = p(z ≤ 1.51 ) - p(z ≤ -1.51 )

                           = 0.9345 - 0.0655 = 0.869

C) for a sample (n ) = 1600

standard deviation/ error = 0.009391 (applying the equation for calculating standard error as seen in part A above)

therefore the required probability after applying

z = \frac{P-p}{standard deviation} at p = 0.15 and p = 0.19

p ( -2.13 ≤ z ≤ 2.13 ) = p( z ≤ 2.13 ) - p( z ≤ -2.13 )

                               = 0.9834 - 0.0166 = 0.9668

How do you convert powers to the same base if the bases don't have common factors?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

  6²

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the rule of exponents ...

  (a·b)^c = a^c·b^c

Your expression has a=3, b=2, c=2.

  3²·2² = (3·2)² = 6²

_____

If you want to get more sophisticated than that, logarithms can get involved.

  3^2\cdot 2^2=10^{2\log{(3)}+2\log{(2)}}\approx 10^{1.5563025}
