A. 16
1/2(MT)^2
1/2(8)^2
=4^2
=16

You can figure this out if you just look at (x+a)^2 = x^2 + 2ax + a^2. See, the constant term, a^2, is the coefficient of x (2a), divided by 2 (2a/2=a), and then squared (a^2)

<span>So you equation has 8x. 8/2 = 4, and 4^2 = 16. So the answer is A.</span>

A function is given. h(t) = t2 + 3t; t = −1, t = 2

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

(a) The net change of the function is 12.

(b) The average rate of change of the function 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of function $f(x)$ over the interval $a\leq x\leq b$ is given by this expression:

average rate of change = $\frac{net \:change \:in \:y}{change \:in \:x} = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

It is a measure of how much the function changed per unit, on average, over that interval.

Given:

$h(t)=t^2+3t\\\\t=-1\\t=2$

(a) To find the net change of the function, first we calculate the values of $h(2)$ and $h(-1)$

$h(-1)=(-1)^2+3(-1)=-2\\\\h(2)=(2)^2+3(2)=10$

The net change is simply the difference

$h(2)-h(-1)=10-(-2)=12$

(b) The average rate of change takes the net change and divides it by the change in the $t$ value.

$\frac{12}{2-(-1)} =\frac{12}{3}=4$

A circular pizza is being made that will fit in a box that is 14 inches by 16 inches. A 2-inch border is needed between the edge

aliina [53]

Now, as the pizza is circular, so it does not matter about the box shape. If the box shape increases or decreases, the pizza shape is the same.

Now, we have been asked about the largest pizza radii that can fit in the box, so we will consider the shortest value of the box.

The width is given as 14 inches. There is a 2 inch border around the pizza. So, the width is 14-4 = 10 inches. (Now assume this as the diameter of pizza)

And the radius is = $\frac{10}{2}=5$ inches.

So, the largest pizza that can fit in the box will have a radius of 5 inches.
