"When you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. f(x) = x2 and f(x + h) = (x + h) Therefore, the slope of the secant line between any two points on this function is 2x + h."
Answer:
8 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to find the time, 
, when 
, that is, when the height of the object above the ground is 0 feet.
Substituting 
feet per second and gives the quadratic:
Since 128 is divisible by 16, it can be reduced to 
.
We must now solve for .
We can easily see that one answer to the equation is 0,
(we need not concern ourselves with the 16 outside of the parenthesis as in the equation above, since 16 multiplied by 0 is 0). However this is the time the object is released into the air.
The second answer, 
is also easy to see by inspection:
.
Therefore the object lands 8 seconds after it is thrown.
Circumcenter is the one among the following choices given in the question that may fall outside a triangle. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer you were looking for and it has come to your help.
