Step-by-step explanation:
the average rate of change is
(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)
(a)
(f(4) - f(-6)) / (4 - -6) = (3 - 1) / (4 + 6) = 2 / 10 = 1/5
(b)
(f(2) - f(-2)) / (2 - -2) = (-1 - -3) / (2 + 2) = (-1 + 3) / 4 = 2/4 = 1/2
There is a positive association between
.. number of miles driven
.. number of gallons of gas used
The answer is 512. You got it
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:

or

Let
and
Substituting these into our given equation, we get

Dividing both sides by
we get

which we recognize as an equation for an ellipse.
