Could you get a closer picture?
Multiply. Distribute 3x to all terms in the parenthesis: x and -8
3x(x) = 3x²
3x(-8) = -24x
3x² - 24x is your answer
hope this helps
Y = 4
X = 12
I’m pretty sure^ I did this last unit btw
Average rate of change means find the slope of the secant line. So if there is a function f(x) and you want to find the average R.O.C over the interval [a,b], it would be (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)
1. (f(3)-f(1))/(3-1)= (0-(-2))/2= 1, so D.
2. Same concept; (8-4)/(3-1)=2, so A.
3. Again, (39-(-1))/5= 8, B.
Variables are like a substitute for a number
