Answer:

74893 students per year

Step-by-step explanation:

The Average rate of change is calculated as

= Difference in number of students / Difference in years

= 3120 thousand - 5217 thousands/ 2008 - 1980

= (3120000 - 5217000)/(2008 - 1980)

= -2097000/28

= -74892.857143 per year

Therefore, the average rate of change

per year in the number of high school dropouts is approximately 74893 students per year

What type of function is y=x^2+6x+5
nata0808 [166]

Hello.

\mathrm{y=x^{2} +6x+5} is a quadratic function, because it has an \mathrm{x^{2} } (x squared, or x times x) term.

Here's what linear functions look like:

\mathrm{y=mx+b}

A graph of a linear function is a line.

Quadratic functions look like so:

\mathrm{y=ax^{2} +bx+c}

A graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.

Therefore, the given function is a quadratic function.

I hope this helps.

Have a nice day.

A software company is releasing one of their products on a CD. The manufacturer charges a $9700 setup fee and $1.25 per CD. Appr
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

  about 4312

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the total cost for n CDs to be 3.50n.

The manufacturer will charge you 9700+1.25n, so you want these to be equal:

  3.50n = 9700 +1.25n

  2.25n = 9700 . . . . . . . . subtract 1.25n

  n = 9700/2.25 ≈ 4311.111...

Producing 4312 CDs will make the cost per CD slightly less than $3.50.

____

Producing 4311 CDs will make the cost per CD be about $3.500058. Producing 4312 CDs will bring it down to $3.499536.

Pls help need asap in 10 mins stressing out ://
eimsori [14]

Answer:  The correct option is

(D) {3, 10, 17, 24, …}.

Reasoning:

 We are given to select the sequence that represents the following function with a domain of natural numbers :

The set of natural numbers is {1, 2, 3, 4, . . .}

to find the sequence, we need to substitute x = 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . in equation (i).

From equation (i), we get

Therefore, the sequence that represents the given function is {3, 10, 17, 24, …}.

Thus, option (D) is CORRECT.
