Answer:
Option b is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to check the end behavior of a polynomial function we just check the leading term and its coefficient and the procedure is as follows:
Here we can see that highest exponent of the polynomial function is 4
therefore degree of the polynomial is 4. and therefore is leading term.
because of even degree it will be same from both ends that is either both sides rises or both sides falls. Since number in the front of leading is negative therefore it falls at both ends. that is falls to the left and falls to the right.
therefore option b is correct.
X/2 is what i think it is because each number divides by 2
F ( x ) = - x² + 5 x + 4
between x = 3 and x = 5:
f ( 3 ) = - 3² + 5 · 3 + 4 = - 9 + 15 + 4 = 10
f ( 5 ) = - 5² + 5 · 5 + 4 = - 25 + 25 + 4 = 4
Average rate of change:
( 4 - 10 ) / ( 5 - 3 ) = - 6 : 2 = - 3 feet / sec
I believe the above function is what they're looking for.
Answer: 2 porters joined the group
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you are told that "13 porters are carrying a total weight of 195kg". You can use this information to create an equation to find the average weight carried by each porter.
^195kg (total weight) divided by 13 (the number of porters) is equal to 15kg (the average weight carried by each of the 13 porters).
You are then told that "extra porters join the group, so they carry an average weight of 13 kg of baggage". because some porters joined the group, you'll have to add p (p = number of porters) to the original equation and change the average weight from 15kg to 13kg.
^195kg (total weight) divided by 13+p (total number of porters after some joined group) is equal to 13kg (new average weight)
You can then use your new equation to solve for "p" and find the number of porters added.
p = 2
