Percent of increase = delta change/total first week x100

delta change = 25- 20 = 5

percent increase = 5/20 x 100 = 100/4 = 25 percent

Find the average rate of change of the function between the given values of x. y = 9+ 5x + 0.5x2 between x = 2 and x = 4.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The average rate of change is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the average rate of change of a function F(x) is:

$\frac{F(b)-F(a)}{b-a}$

In this case, F(x) = $0.5x^{2} +5x+9$

a=2 and b=4

You have to evaluate x=2 (which is a in the formula) and x=4 (which is b in the formula) in the function.

In order to obtain F(b) and F(a) you have to replace x=4 and x=2 in the given function:

F(b) = $(0.5)4^{2} + 5(4) +9= 37$

F(a) = $(0.5)2^{2} + 5(2)+9=21$

$\frac{F(b)-F(a)}{b-a} = \frac{37-21}{4-2}=\frac{16}{2} = 8$

The answer is 8.

If A's income is 25% less than that of B, then how much percent is B's income more than that of A?

saul85 [17]

Let's say that B makes $100.

Then A makes $75.

So, your question then becomes 100 is what percent of 75?

This can be solved by setting up the proportion 100 / 75 = x / 100

75x = 10000

x = 133.3

So, B's income is 33.3% more than A's income.
