Is 6+2 +4x equivalent to 6- ( 2-4x) . if not , why not ?

1 answer:

6 0

Well lets solve for both.
6 + 2 + 4x
Combine like terms.
8 + 4x
Now solve the other one.
6 - (2 - 4x)
Distribute.
6 - 2 + 4x
Combine like terms.
4 + 4x.
These equations are not equivalent because instead of adding two, like in the first one, the second problem is subtracting. So you get 8 + 4x and 4 + 4x. I hope this helps love! :)

What is the Value of the rational expression below when X is equal to 3?

Serhud [2]

First, you would have to plug 3 into the equation
15-(3)/9-(3)
Then do the math
12/6
This can be simplified, since 12 and 6 are divisible by 6, which is their greatest common factor
2/1
So the answer is D. 2

Hope this helps!

What is the average rate of change of f(x) = -x2 + 3x + 6 over the interval –3

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{6-(-12)}{3-(-3)} =\frac{18}{6}= 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average rate of change of a function over a given interval, basically you need to find the slope. The mathematical definition of the slope is very similar to the one we use every day. In mathematics, the slope is the relationship between the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line. In this sense, the slope can be found using the following expression:

$Average\hspace{3}rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$
