Melissa launches a rocket from a 3-meter-tall platform. The height, h, of the rocket, in meters, can be modeled by the given gra

ph.
Melissa knows that h(1) = 23 meters and h(a) = 34.25 meters.

What is a reasonable estimate of the average rate of change of the height of the rocket, in meters per second, between a and b seconds? Explain your reasoning.

We can model the function between a and b as a linear function of negative slope because it is a short interval and the change is not very significant.
 We have then that the average rate of change in that interval is:
 m = (f (a) - f (b)) / (a-b)
 Substituting the values:
 m = (34.25 - 26) / (2.5-3.6)
 m = -7.5
 Negative, because the function decreases in that interval.
 Answer:
 a reasonable estimate of the average rate of change of the height of the rocket, in meters per second, between a and b seconds is:
 m = -7.5 m / s

The probability of a spinner landing on a 4 is 5/8. What is the probability that the spinner will land on a number other than 4?
Alja [10]
The probability that it doesn't land on 4 would be 3/8. This is because theres a 5/8 chance it lands on 4 so just do the opposite which would be 3/8.

A sequence is created from the function k(n) = 2n + 3, where n represents the position of the term of the sequence. The sequence
pashok25 [27]
Substitute the n value into the equation. The n repersents the 'nth' term.
K (1) = 2(1) + 3
      K = 5
Therefore, when n = 1, K = 5
Same goes t any other term.

K (3) = 2(3) + 3
     K = 9
So, when n = 3, K=9

Just keep applying the same rule. Also, make sure that you answer it with a sentence at the end. This should always help you and the marker see that you are confidence with your answer...

I hoped I helped out. Good luck. :)
