Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate equals the negative of delta concentration of reactants
Percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number....* 100
= (45 - 27.5) / 45.....* 100
= 17.5 / 45....* 100
= 0.3888 * 100
= 38.9 % decrease <== thats rounded
The idea is to use the tangent line to
at
in order to approximate
.
We have


so the linear approximation to
is

Hence
and
.
Then

F(5)= 3.(5)+2=15+2=17
Another example: F(0)=3.(0)+2=0+2=2
You just replace the value in the two sides.
