$42,500 because 45900 dividede by 1.08 is 42500
Answer:
-11
Step-by-step explanation:
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:
x = -2.5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic, 
, think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
