Answer:

5.2 kg per month.

Explanation:

The measure of how fast the wrestler gained weight, in kg per month, is the weight gain rate.

The table is:

Time (months) Weight (kg)

0.5 80.6

2 88.4

3.5 96.2

The weight gain rate, WGR, for a period may be calculated as:

WGR = [ weight gain ] / [period]

WGR = [final weight - initial weight] / [final time - initial time]

WGR₁ = [88.4 kg - 80.6 kg] / [2 month - 0.5 month] = 7.8 kg / 1.5 month = 5.2 kg / month

WGR₂ = [96.2 kg - 88.4 kg] / [3.5 month - 2 month] = 7.8 kg / 1.5 month = 5.2 kg / month.

As you see, the wrestler gained weight at a constant rate of 5.2 kg per month.

Answer:

If he maintains the same rate he'll hit 180 home runs over the next three seasons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he maintains the same rate of homeruns per season as he did in 1987 the number of home runs he'll hit over the next three seasons is the rate from 1987 multiplied by 3. We have:

number of home runs = 3*rate

number of home runs = 3*60

number of home runs = 180

If he maintains the same rate he'll hit 180 home runs over the next three seasons.

Answer:

the correct one is c, which is the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a polygon is 360.

And for a rectangle, they have equal exterior angles.

So a rectangle has 4 sides

So each exterior angle=360/4

Then each is 90°

Then the correct c which has 90°

If g (x) = 1/x^2 then g (x+h) - g (x)/h

$\bf g(x)=\cfrac{1}{x^2}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{(x+h)^2}-\frac{1}{x^2}}{h} \\\\\\ \textit{using the LCD of }(x+h)^2(x^2)\qquad \cfrac{\frac{x^2-(x+h)^2}{(x+h)^2(x^2)}}{h}\implies \cfrac{x^2-(x+h)^2}{h(x+h)^2(x^2)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{x^2-(x^2+2xh+h^2)}{h(x+h)^2(x^2)}\implies \cfrac{\underline{x^2-x^2}-2xh-h^2}{h(x+h)^2(x^2)}\implies \cfrac{-2xh-h^2}{h(x+h)^2(x^2)}$

$\bf \cfrac{\underline{h}(-2x-h)}{\underline{h}(x+h)^2(x^2)}\implies \cfrac{-2x-h}{(x+h)^2(x^2)}\implies \cfrac{-2x-h}{(x^2+2xh+h^2)(x^2)} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \cfrac{-2x-h}{x^4+2x^3h+x^2h^2}~\hfill$
