Average rate of change is just the slope between the 2 points
we can do this the long way or the smart way

long way, find the 2 points and find the slope between them
when x=-5, f(-5)=-2(-5)+1=10+1=11
when x=1, f(1)=-2(1)+1=-2+1=-1
so the points are (-5,11) and (1,-1)
the slope between them is (-1-11)/(1-(-5))=(-12)/(1+5)=-12/6=-2
the answer is B, -2

smart way
recognize that that is a linear equation and the slope between any 2 points will be the m in y=mx+b
f(x)=-2x+1
the slope is -2
the average rate of change is -2
answer is B. -2

If an object is propelled upward from a height of s feet at an initial velocity of v feet per second, then its height h after t

Sergio039 [100]

From the given information we can write the equation:

-16t^2 +96t + 4 = 112

-16t^2 + 96t + 4 - 112 = 0

-16t^2 + 96t - 108 = 0

simplify, change the signs, divide by -4

4t^2 - 24t + 27 = 0

You can use the qudratic formula but this will factor to

(2t-3)(2t-9) = 0

Two solutions

t = 3/2

t = 1.5 seconds at 112 ft on the way up

and

t = 9/2

t = 4.5 seconds at 112 ft on the way back down

Graphically, (green line is 112 ft)

What is the general equation of a sine function with an amplitude of 6, a period of pi/4, and a horizontal shift of pi/2?

agasfer [191]

The general equation of the sine function y=f(x) is defined as

$Y=AsinB(x-C)+D$

where A is the Amplitude

B represents the frequency of the function with period equals $2\pi/B$

C represents the Horizontal shift, For Phase shift= -C/B

D represents the Vertical shift.

The data given that the amplitude of the function A=6

$B=\frac{2\pi}{Current\, period}=\frac{2\pi}{\pi/4}=8$

Vertical shift $D= 0$

Horizontal Shift $C= \pi/2$

Now plug in $\neq A=6, B=8\, and \, C=\pi/2$ in the general equation of sine function, we get

$y=6\sin8(x-\pi/2)+0\\y=6\sin 8(x-\pi/2))$
