The average rate of change <span>x=−1 to x = 4 is 

A= f(4) -f(-1) / 4- (-1)
f(4)=4²-2x4-4=16-12=4
f(-1)=1+2-4= -1
</span><span>f(4) -f(-1) / 4- (-1) = 4-(-1)/4-(-1)= 5/5=1
</span>the rate of change is A=1

Answer:

The average rate of change for f(x) from x=−1 to x = 4 is, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate A(x) of change for a function f(x) over [a, b] is given by:

A(x) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

As per the statement:

f(x) = x^2-2x-4

we have to find the average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 4

At x = -1

f(-1) = (-1)^2-2(-1)-4 = 1+2-4 = -1

and

at x = 4

f(4) = (4)^2-2(4)-4 = 16-8-4 = 4

Substitute these in [1] we have;

A(x) = \frac{f(4)-f(-1)}{4-(-1)}

⇒A(x) = \frac{4-(-1)}{4+1}

⇒A(x) = \frac{5}{5}

Simplify:

A(x) = 1

Therefore, the average rate of change for f(x) from x=−1 to x = 4 is, 1

James puts $3,500 into a savings account that earns 2.5% simple interest. He does not touch that account for 3 years. What would
miskamm [114]

Given :

James puts $3,500 into a savings account that earns 2.5% simple interest.

He does not touch that account for 3 years.

To Find :

The new balance of the account be after 3 years.

Solution :

Interest on $3500 after 3 years is :

I = \dfrac{P_o\times r\times t}{100}\\\\I = \dfrac{3500\times 2.5\times 3}{100}\\\\I = \$262.5

So, new balance of the account after 3 years is $( 3500+262.5 ) = $3762.5  .

Hence, this is the required solution.

How does 0.008 compare to 0.08
Aleonysh [2.5K]
0.008 would equal to 8/1000 while 0.08 would be 8/10. That would mean 0.008 is much smaller than 8/10. You use the idea of base 10.
