Part A:
The average rate of change refers to a function's slope. Thus, we are going to need to use the slope formula, which is:
and 
are points on the function
You can see that we are given the x-values for our interval, but we are not given the y-values, which means that we will need to find them ourselves. Remember that the y-values of functions refers to the outputs of the function, so to find the y-values simply use your given x-value in the function and observe the result:
Now, let's find the slopes for each of the sections of the function:
<u>Section A</u>
<u>Section B</u>
Part B:
In this case, we can find how many times greater the rate of change in Section B is by dividing the slopes together.
It is 25 times greater. This is because 
is an exponential growth function, which grows faster and faster as the x-values get higher and higher. This is unlike a linear function which grows or declines at a constant rate.
Answer:
x=16; y=24
Step-by-step explanation:
for (x,23), 23=0.5x+15
x=16
for (18xy), y=0.5*18+15=24
Answer:
2.4×10^6
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the numbers where the variables are and do the arithmetic. You can enter the numbers in scientific notation into your (scientific) calculator and have it show you the result in the same format.
r = (3.8×10^5)^2/(5.9×10^4) . . . . . denominator parentheses are required
Please note that in the above expression, parentheses are required around the denominator number. This is because it is a product of two numbers. In your pocket calculator or spreadsheet, you can enter that value as a single number (not a product). Parentheses are not required when you can do that.
r = (3.8²/5.9)×10^(5·2-4) ≈ 2.4×10^6
___
The "exact" value is a repeating decimal with a long repeat. We have rounded to 2 significant digits here because the input numbers have that number of significant digits.
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the following limit:
lim_(x->∞) 3^(-x) n
Applying the quotient rule, write lim_(x->∞) n 3^(-x) as (lim_(x->∞) n)/(lim_(x->∞) 3^x):
n/(lim_(x->∞) 3^x)
Using the fact that 3^x is a continuous function of x, write lim_(x->∞) 3^x as 3^(lim_(x->∞) x):
n/3^(lim_(x->∞) x)
lim_(x->∞) x = ∞:
n/3^∞
n/3^∞ = 0:
