Answer: - 1/2 = - 0.5


Explanation:


1. Make the sequence clear. These are the given points (x,y):

  • (-1, 4)
  • (1, 3)
  • (3, 2)
  • (5, 1)

2. The average rate of change only takes into account the last and the first pairs of your intervals, those are (5, 1) and (-1, 4).

Average rate of change = [change in y] / [change in x] = [1 - 4] / [5 - (-1) ] =

  = - 3 / 6 = - 1/2 = - 0.5  ← answer


The averate ratre of change is the slope of the line that joins the first and last points. The fact that the result is negative means that there was a net decrease of the values.

Factor -1/4 out of -1/2-5/4y
In-s [12.5K]
When we factor out something, we divide the factor by the equation. For example if we were to factor 3 out of 6, It will be 3(2). We got this answer by dividing 3 and 6. Using this concept:

\frac{-1}{4}[( \frac{-1}{2} / \frac{-1}{4}) - ( \frac{5}{4} y /  \frac{-1}{4})]

Simplifying:

\frac{-1}{4}(2 + 5y)

Hope this helps!

If tile costs $8.50 per square foot, how much does it cost per inch?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

$0.06 per square inch

Step-by-step explanation:

The question should be:

<em>"If tile costs $8.50 per square foot, how much does it cost per square inch?"</em>

<em />

To solve this, we basically need a conversion from feet to inches. BUT 2 times, since we are talking about "square feet" and "square inches".

We know 1 feet = 12 inches

Also, since we are going from square feet to square inches [big to small], we have to divide TWICE.

Thus, we will have:

\frac{8.5}{12*12}

We are dividing 8.5 (the cost) by 12, 2 times since we want square feet in square inches. The answer is:

\frac{8.5}{12*12}=0.06

So, tile costs $0.06 per square inch
