What is the average rate of change from x = −3 to x = −4?

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it would be immensely helpful to know the equation of this parabola, we need to figure it out before we can continue.  We have the work form of a positive upwards-opening parabola as

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where a is the leading coefficient that determines the steepness of lack thereof of the parabola, x and y are coordinates of a point on the graph, and h and k are the coordinates of the vertex.  We know the vertex: V(-3, -3), and it looks like the graph goes through the point P(-2, -1).  Now we will fill in the work form equation and solve for a:

-1=a(-2-(-3))^2-3

which simplifies a bit to

-1=a(1)^2-3

and

-1 = a(1) - 3.  Therefore, a = 2 and our parabola is

y=2(x+3)^2-3

Now that know the equation, we can find the value of y when x = -3 (which is already given in the vertex) and the value of y when x = -4.  Do this by subbing in the values of x one at a time to find y.  When x = -3, y = -3 so the coordinate of that point (aka the vertex) is (-3, -3).  When x = -4, y = -1 so the coordinate of that point is (-4, -1).  The average rate of change between those 2 points is also the slope of the line between those 2 points, so we will use the slope formula to find it:

m=\frac{-1-(-3)}{-4-(-3)} =\frac{2}{-1}=-2

And there you have it!  I'm very surprised that this question sat unanswered for so very long!  I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier!

Find the area of the figure shown in the diagram to the nearest hundredth.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Answer: Choice C) 41.13 square meters

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This figure is a composition of two quarter-circles and a square

Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*(area of circle)
Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*(pi*r^2)
Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*(pi*4^2)
Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*(pi*16)
Area of quarter circle = (1/4)*16*pi
Area of quarter circle = 4pi
There are two quarter circles, so the two circular areas add to 4pi+4pi = 8pi

Area of square = s*s = 4*4 = 16 square meters

Add the square area to the circular area: 8pi+16

Now use a calculator to find 8pi+16 = 41.1327412287183 which rounds to 41.13
