Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the rate of change is:

$Rate\ of\ change=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

The interval is [1,5]

So, a = 1 and b=5

$f(1) = 17 - (1)^2\\ =17-1\\=16\\f(5) = 17-(5)^2\\=17-25\\=-8$

Putting in the values

$Rate\ of\ change = \frac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1} \\=\frac{-8-16}{5-1}\\= \frac{-24}{4}\\ =-6$

The average rate of change is -6 ..

If 100 pencils can be sold for $90, then how many pencils are needed to earn $8500?

ira [324]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up a proportion.

Let x be the number of pencils needed.

$\frac{100}{90} = \frac{x}{8500}$

Solve for x.

x = 9444.44 pencils (round it up to 9445 pencils if you need a whole number)
