Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) will be represented by the slope between the given interval [-3, 2]

For x = -3 value of f(x) = -36

and for x = 2 value of f(x) = 4

So there are two points ( -3, -36 ) and ( 2, 4 ) through which function is defined.

Therefore, from the formula of slope = $\frac{y-y'}{x-x'}$

slope = $\frac{4+36}{2+3}$

= slope = $\frac{40}{5}$

= 8

Option C is the answer.

You would select the points with the x-values -3 and 2 and use the slope formula:
(-3, -36) and (2,4)
$m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ← slope formula
x1 = -3 y1 = -36 and x2 = 2 y2 = 4

$m= \frac{4--36}{2--3} = \frac{40}{5} =8$

WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC RULES FOR PROVING SIMILARITY IN TRIANGLES? EXPLAIN.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

AAA (Or even just two angles work too, since the last has to be the same no matter what) ASA and SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this is the same as before? As far as I know these are the main rules for proving similarity. (AAS and A** do not exist (Brainly won't let me say the two Ss), make sure no trick questions get you ;p)

I'm not sure if what you needed earlier was the relationships between angles to find them? Like to find Exterior Angles subtract <C from 180 = <EA?

Find the general solution to each of the following ODEs. Then, decide whether or not the set of solutions form a vector space. E

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

(A) $y=ke^{2t}$ with $k\in\mathbb{R}$ .

(B) $y=ke^{2t}/2-1/2$ with $k\in\mathbb{R}$

(D) $y=k_1e^{2t}+k_2e^{-2t}+e^{3t}/5$ with $k_1,k_2\in\mathbb{R}$ ,

Step-by-step explanation

(A) We can see this as separation of variables or just a linear ODE of first grade, then $0=y'-2y=\frac{dy}{dt}-2y\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dt}=2y \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2y}dy=dt \ \Rightarrow \int \frac{1}{2y}dy=\int dt \Rightarrow \ln |y|^{1/2}=t+C \Rightarrow |y|^{1/2}=e^{\ln |y|^{1/2}}=e^{t+C}=e^{C}e^t} \Rightarrow y=ke^{2t}$ . With this answer we see that the set of solutions of the ODE form a vector space over, where vectors are of the form $e^{2t}$ with $t$ real.

(B) Proceeding and the previous item, we obtain $1=y'-2y=\frac{dy}{dt}-2y\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dt}=2y+1 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2y+1}dy=dt \ \Rightarrow \int \frac{1}{2y+1}dy=\int dt \Rightarrow 1/2\ln |2y+1|=t+C \Rightarrow |2y+1|^{1/2}=e^{\ln |2y+1|^{1/2}}=e^{t+C}=e^{C}e^t \Rightarrow y=ke^{2t}/2-1/2$ . Which is not a vector space with the usual operations (this is because $-1/2$ ), in other words, if you sum two solutions you don't obtain a solution.

(C) This is a linear ODE of second grade, then if we set $y=e^{mt} \Rightarrow y''=m^2e^{mt}$ and we obtain the characteristic equation $0=y''-4y=m^2e^{mt}-4e^{mt}=(m^2-4)e^{mt}\Rightarrow m^{2}-4=0\Rightarrow m=\pm 2$ and then the general solution is $y=k_1e^{2t}+k_2e^{-2t}$ with $k_1,k_2\in\mathbb{R}$ , and as in the first items the set of solutions form a vector space.

(D) Using C, let be $y=me^{3t}$ we obtain that it must satisfies $3^2m-4m=1\Rightarrow m=1/5$ and then the general solution is $y=k_1e^{2t}+k_2e^{-2t}+e^{3t}/5$ with $k_1,k_2\in\mathbb{R}$ , and as in (B) the set of solutions does not form a vector space (same reason! as in (B)).
