The average rate of change is 11

Explanation:

The given function is f(x)=x^{2}+3 x-2

We need to determine the average rate of change for the function from 2 to 6

The average rate of change can be determined using the formula,

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

where a=2 and b=6

Now, we shall determine the values of f(2) and f(6) by substituting the values for x = 2 and x = 6 in the function f(x)=x^{2}+3 x-2

Thus, we have,

f(2)=2^{2}+3 (2)-2

       =4+6-2

f(2)=8

Similarly, substituting x = 6, we get,

f(6)=6^{2}+3 (6)-2

       =36+18-2

f(6)=52

Hence, substituting these values in the formula \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} , we get,

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{52-8}{6-2}

Simplifying, we get,

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{44}{4}=11

Thus, the average rate of change for the function from 2 to 6 is 11

The following are the ages (years) of 5 people in a room:
slava [35]

Answer:

The age of the person who entered the room is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Ages of 5 people in a room are:

17, 16, 15, 17, 22

A person enters room, and then the mean age of 6 people is 17.

We need to find the age of person who entered the room.

The formula to calculate mean is: Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}

Now, in question we are given mean of 6 people that is 17

The age of 5 people are given while age of one person who enters the room is unknown.

Let age of person whose age is unknown= x

Now finding x using mean formula

Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}\\17=\frac{17+16+ 15+ 17+ 22+x}{6}\\17=\frac{87+x}{6}\\17*6=87+x\\102=87+x\\x=102-87\\x=15

So, The value of x: x=15

Hence, the age of the person who entered the room is 15

the sugar-sweet company is going to transport its sugar in to Market it will cost $6,500 to rent trucks plus $150 for each ton o
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$ 3750  = truck rental;   $125 per ton of sugar transported

C is cost;  S is number of tons transported

Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b

C = 125S + $3750

This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only

you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)

As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:

(1, 3875)  (2, 4000)  (3, 4125)  etc.  

This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
