Answer:

The average rate of change is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

f(x)=17-x^2-----(1)

Thus, the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [1, 5],

m=\frac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1}

=\frac{(17-5^2)-(17-1^2)}{4}   ( From equation (1) )

=\frac{(17-25)-(17-1)}{4}

=\frac{-8-16}{4}

=\frac{-24}{4}

=-6

Hence, first option is correct.

Answer: choice A) -6

-----------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

Plug in x = 1
f(x) = 17-x^2
f(1) = 17-1^2
f(1) = 17-1
f(1) = 16

Then plug in x = 5
f(x) = 17-x^2
f(5) = 17-5^2
f(5) = 17-25
f(5) = -8

So the average rate of change (AROC) from x = 1 to x = 5 is...
AROC = (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)
AROC = (f(5)-f(1))/(5-1)
AROC = (-8-16)/(5-1)
AROC = (-24)/(4)
AROC = -6

That's why the answer is choice A) -6

Question 2-4
Gnoma [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

-x/3 < -4

-x < -12

x > 12

5x +11 ≤ -4

5x ≤ -4-11

5x ≤ -15

x ≤ -3

therefore, the solution is

x ≤ -3 or x > 12

Find the value of k such that lim--&gt;4 (x^2+x-k)/(x-4) exists
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

k=20

Step-by-step explanation:

when x approaches 4, the denominator x-4 approaches 0

if the denominator is 0, it means that this is invalid

if the function is a number over 0 when x=4, it represents a vertical asymptote, which means no limit

so the only way possible to let there be a limit is to let the function be 0/0 when we plug in x=4

so x^2 + x - k = 0 when x = 4

4^2 + 4 - k = 0 ==> 20 - k = 0 ==> k = 20
