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

PERSON WHO GETS THIS RIGHT WILL GET A LOTTT OF POINTS 60+
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

x = cost of adult ticket

y = cost of student ticket

cost of adult ticket is twice the cost of a student ticket

x = 2y

number of adult tickets = 64

number of student tickets = 132

cost of all adult tickets = 64x

cost of all student tickets = 132y

cost of all adult and student tickets combined: 64x + 132y

cost of all adult and student tickets combined: 1040

This gives us the equation:

64x + 132y = 1040

b.

Use substitution to solve the system of equations. Since x = 2y, where you see x in the second equation, substitute it with 2y.

64(2y) + 132y = 1040

128y + 132y = 1040

260y = 1040

y = 1040/260

y = 4

x = 2y = 2(4) = 8

adult ticket: $8

student ticket: $4
