By definition we have that the average rate of change of the function is given by:

Substituting values we have:

Rewriting we have:
Answer:
If x represents time, the average rate of change of the function f(x) in the first two seconds is 25.

Answer:
x = -1 and y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations
y + 8x = 10... 1
2y - 4x = 40 ... 2
From 1; y = 10-8x
Substitute into 2;
2(10-8x) - 4x = 40
20 - 16x - 4x = 40
20 - 20x = 40
-20x = 40 - 20
-20x = 20
x = -1
Recall that y = 10-8x
y = 10 - 8(-1)
y = 10 + 8
y = 18
therefore your answer is x = -1 and y = 18
