Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure you want your functions to appear as perfectly formed as possible so that others can help you. f(x) = 4(2)x should be written with the " ^ " sign to denote exponentation: f(x) = 4(2)^x
f(b) - f(a)
The formula for "average rate of change" is a.r.c. = --------------
b - a
change in function value
This is equivalent to ---------------------------------------
change in x value
For Section A: x changes from 1 to 2 and the function changes from 4(2)^1 to 4(2)^2: 8 to 16. Thus, "change in function value" is 8 for a 1-unit change in x from 1 to 2. Thus, in this Section, the a.r.c. is:
8
------ = 8 units (Section A)
1
Section B: x changes from 3 to 4, a net change of 1 unit: f(x) changes from
4(2)^3 to 4(2)^4, or 32 to 256, a net change of 224 units. Thus, the a.r.c. is
224 units
----------------- = 224 units (Section B)
1 unit
The a.r.c for Section B is 28 times greater than the a.r.c. for Section A.
This change in outcome is so great because the function f(x) is an exponential function; as x increases in unit steps, the function increases much faster (we say "exponentially").
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The correct question is</em>
If f(x)=3x-1 and g(x)=x+2, find (f-g)(x)
we know that
(f-g)(x) is equal to subtract the function g(x) from the function f(x)
so
substitute the given functions
Remove the parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's say that we don't have jokers. In that case, there are 52 cards, and half of them are red (so 26 are red). The probability of pulling a red card once is 1/2 since half the cards are red.
If we pick one out, there are only 51 total cards left and 25 red cards. So, the probability of picking one again would be 25/51.
We multiply the probabilities of these two events to find the probability of them both happening.
1/2×25/51=25/102
The probability of picking two red cards in a row is 25/102 or around 24.5%.
Have a wonderful day! :D
