The answer is 13 because you would plug in 3(3) which is 9 then you multiply (9)(2) which is 18 they you subtract 18-5 which equals 13
Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b = -1 and a = -3
The average rate of change = 
f(b) = f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2
f(a) = f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 5 =27 - 5 = 22
f(b) - f(a) = -2 - 22 = -24
b - a = -1 + 3 = 2
= -24/2 = -12
Answer:
We have the equation
![c_1\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\1\end{array}\right] +c_2\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_3\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_4\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c_1%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D0%5C%5C0%5C%5C0%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2Bc_2%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D0%5C%5C0%5C%5C3%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2Bc_3%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D0%5C%5C4%5C%5C3%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2Bc_4%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D8%5C%5C4%5C%5C3%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D0%5C%5C0%5C%5C0%5C%5C0%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Then, the augmented matrix of the system is
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&0&0&8\\0&0&4&4\\0&3&3&3\\1&1&1&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D0%260%260%268%5C%5C0%260%264%264%5C%5C0%263%263%263%5C%5C1%261%261%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
We exchange rows 1 and 4 and rows 2 and 3 and obtain the matrix:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&1\\0&3&3&3\\0&0&4&4\\0&0&0&8\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%261%261%261%5C%5C0%263%263%263%5C%5C0%260%264%264%5C%5C0%260%260%268%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
This matrix is in echelon form. Then, now we apply backward substitution:
1.

2.

3.

4.

Then the system has unique solution that is
and this imply that the vectors
are linear independent.
I'm going to use the slope formula which is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through
Slope of line PQ
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 - (-7))
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 + 7)
m = (-14)/(2)
m = -7
The slope of line PQ is -7
Slope of RS
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - (-5))/(-2 - 3)
m = (0 + 5)/(-2 - 3)
m = (5)/(-5)
m = -1
The slope of line RS is -1
Because the slopes are NOT equal (one is -7 and the other is -1), this means the lines are NOT parallel.

Answer: Choice B) No, the lines have unequal slopes
It depends on the vehicle but normally four of five
