Calculating the value of f(x) for the given interval.

For x = - 4, f(x) = f(- 4) = (- 4)^2 + 2 (- 4) + 3 = 11

For x = 6, f(x) = f(6) = (6)^2 + 2 (6) + 3 = 51

Now using formula for the calculation of average rate of change of f(x) over the given interval of [- 4, 6];

(f(b) – f(a)) / b – a = (f(6) – f(- 4)) / 6 – (- 4) = (51 -11) / 10 = 4

So option “E” is correct.

sarah spent a total of 10 on oranges and apples at the supet market. if she spent 3 dollars less for oranges than she did on app

beks73 [17]

Let's write 2 equations from the two statements given.

Sarah spent 10 dollars on both oranges and apples

Let the price of oranges be "x" and price of apples be "y", thus we can write:

$x+y=10$

Oranges cost 3 less than apples, thus we can say:

$y-3=x$

We can substitute this into the first equation and solve for y:

$\begin{gathered} x+y=10 \\ y-3+y=10 \\ 2y=10+3 \\ 2y=13 \\ y=\frac{13}{2} \\ y=6.5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, let's solve for x now,

$\begin{gathered} x=y-3 \\ x=6.5-3 \\ x=3.5 \end{gathered}$

We want the price of oranges (x), thus,

Price of Oranges = $3.50

Is 10.02 or 10.2 bigger

andrew-mc [135]

10.2=10.20
So, 10.2 is bigger than 10.02

Find the zero of f(x) = x^5-12x^2+32x

Alexeev081 [22]

The zeroes of f(x) = x^5-12x^2+32x can be found by factoring,

f(x) = x^5-12x^2+32x=(x-8)(x-4)

By the zero product theorem, (x-8)=0 or (x-4)=0 which means
x=8 or x=4.

So the zeroes of f(x) are S={4,8}
