Let

x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag

we know that

1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x

remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x

2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x

remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x

3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x

remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x

4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10

(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts

5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts

6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts

7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts

8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts

9) Preston took 10

so

check

108+54+81+10=253

remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct

What is the average rate of change for this function for the interval from x=3 to x=5?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

A. 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change for the interval ranging from x = 3 to x = 5 for the given function represented in the table above can be calculated using:

Average rate of change = \frac{f(x2) - f(x1)}{x2 - x1}

x2 = 5

x1 = 3

f(x2) = f(5) = 125

f(x1) = f(3) = 27

Thus,

Average rate of change = \frac{125 - 27}{5 - 3}

= \frac{98}{2}

Average rate of change = 49

Average rate of change of the given table values representing an exponential function is A. 49.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the scale that should be required to reproduced that fitted on the brochure is

Given that

Length of rectangular park = 4 inches

And the Breadth of rectangular park = 6 inches

As we know that

Area of rectangular park = length × breadth

= 4×6

= 24 square inches

Now the scale that required to reproduced is

= 24 ÷ 6

= 4 inches
