x + y = 23

x = 2y-1

y + 2y-1 =23

3y-1 =23

3y =24

y = 24/3 =8

 y = 8

 x = 2*8-1 = 15

15+8 = 23

 the 2 numbers are 8 & 15

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Given,

x + y = 23

x = 23 - y

Also given,

y = 2x - 1

y= 2(23 -y) -1

y = 46 - 2y - 1

3y = 45

y = 15

x = 23 - y = 23 - 15 = 8

Hence, the two numbers are 15 and 8.

during the first years of growth the height of a tree can be modeled with the function h=-t^2 +12t+10 where t is the time in yea
DIA [1.3K]

ANSWER

6 inches

EXPLANATION

The given function is

h(t) =  -  {t}^{2}  + 12t + 10

The average rate of change from t=1 to t=5 is given by:

=  \frac{h(5) - h(1)}{5 - 1}

h(5) =  -  {(5)}^{2}  + 12(5) + 10

h(5) =  - 25 + 60+ 10

h(5) =  45

Also,

h(1) =  -  {(1)}^{2}  + 12(1) + 10

h(1) =  - 1+ 12+ 10

h(1) = 21

The average rate of change is now

=  \frac{45 - 21}{4}

=  \frac{24}{4}

= 6
