Use the formula a = a+b/2h
<span>average rate of change = (f(7) - f(5)) / (x7 - x5)
</span>f(7) = <span>12 (7^3) + 12 = 4128
f(5) = </span>12 (5^3) + 12 = 1512
so
average rate of change = (4128 - 1512)/(7-5)
average rate of change = 2616 / 2
average rate of change = 1308
hope it helps
Answer:
It would be a rational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
An easy way to tell if a number is rational is by seeing if it can be put in fraction form. As you can see, 27/100 is a fraction, so it is rational.
For the mix you need 60 Ib of nuts and raisins, and 60 lb of mix will sell for $300.
Let <em>x</em> be the weight of nuts and <em>y</em> the weight of raisins needed for the mix.
Total weight = <em>x</em>+<em>y</em> = 60, so <em>y</em> = 60 - <em>x</em>
Total value = 6<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> = 300. From the above, we can substitute the <em>y</em> for 60 - x:
Total value = 6<em>x</em> + 3(60 - <em>x</em>) = 300, which we can simplify to:
6<em>x</em> + 180 - 3<em>x</em> = 300, and simplify again to:
3<em>x</em> = 120, and again to:
<em>x</em> = 40. We can now calculate<em> y</em> from the first equation y = 60 - <em>x</em>, so:
y = 20.
40 lb of nuts and 20 lb of raisins. Check:
40 lb x $6/lb = $240, and 20 lb x $3/lb = $60, $240 + $60 = $300.
