What expression represents the sum of 8 and twice a number

1 answer:

jolli1 [7]3 years ago

Idk if you have any choices or not but it should look like 8 + 2x
How to get the answer: sum means addition, and twice a number is 2 times it. We don't know the number so we'll use x. Two times a number is 2x
And since we are adding we will put an addition sign
8 + 2x

The difference between two numbers is 2 and their product is 224. What are the numbers?

Sati [7]

Let $x,y$ be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:

$x-y=2$ (the difference between the two numbers is 2)

$xy=224$ (their product is 224)

From the first equation, we can deduce $x=y+2$

If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have

$xy = (y+2)y = 224 \iff y^2+2y-224 =0$

If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions

$y=-16,\quad y=14$

So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:

$\begin{cases} x = -14\\y=-16\end{cases},\quad\begin{cases} x = 16\\y=14\end{cases}$

Find the average rate of change of f(x) = -x² + 5x+2 from x=3 to x=6.

ivolga24 [154]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The points at the ends of the interval are ...

(3, f(3)) = (3, 8)

(6, f(6)) = (6, -4)

The slope is given by the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-4 -8)/(6 -3) = -12/3 = -4

The average rate of change is -4.
