Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure you want your functions to appear as perfectly formed as possible so that others can help you.  f(x) = 4(2)x should be written with the " ^ " sign to denote exponentation:  f(x) = 4(2)^x

                                                                                      f(b) - f(a)

The formula for "average rate of change" is a.r.c. = --------------

                                                                                           b - a

                                    change in function value

This is equivalent to  ---------------------------------------

                                            change in x value

For Section A:  x changes from 1 to 2 and the function changes from 4(2)^1 to  4(2)^2:  8 to 16.  Thus, "change in function value" is 8 for a 1-unit change in x from 1 to 2.  Thus, in this Section, the a.r.c. is:

                 8

               ------ = 8 units    (Section A)

                  1

Section B:  x changes from 3 to 4, a net change of 1 unit:  f(x) changes from

4(2)^3 to 4(2)^4, or 32 to 256, a net change of 224 units.  Thus, the a.r.c. is

        224 units

      ----------------- = 224 units (Section B)

            1 unit

The a.r.c for Section B is 28 times greater than the a.r.c. for Section A.

This change in outcome is so great because the function f(x) is an exponential function; as x increases in unit steps, the function increases much faster (we say "exponentially").

a boat going upstream at 4 mph then travels downstream at 10 mph. what is the rate of the boat in still water​
elixir [45]

Answer:

7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If b is the rate of the boat, and s is the rate of the stream, then:

b − s = 4

b + s = 10

Solve the system of equations with substitution or elimination.  Using elimination, add the equations together:

2b = 14

b = 7

The boat's rate is 7 mph.

What is the reason for Statement 5 of the two-column proof?
zmey [24]

Given: ∠JNL and ∠MNK are vertical angles and  m∠MNK=90°

Prove: ∠JNL is a right angle.

   Statements                                                     Reasons

1.  ∠JNL and ∠MNK are vertical angles.             Given

2. \angle JNL \cong \angle MNK        Vertical angle theorem

3. m \angle JNL = m \angle MNK        Angle congruence postulate

4.  m \angle MNK = 90^\circ                Given

5. m \angle JNL = 90^\circ                 <u> Substitution Property of Equality</u>

Since, the measures of angle JNL and MNK are equal and the measure of angle MNK is 90 degrees. therefore, by substitution property of equality, both the angles JNL and MNK will have an equal measure.

Therefore,  m \angle JNL = 90^\circ

6. ∠JNL is a right angle.                                     Definition of right angle
