If <em>f(x)</em> = 1/<em>x</em> - 2, then the average rate of change between <em>x</em> = 4 and <em>x</em> = 8 is
(<em>f</em> (8) - <em>f</em> (4)) / (8 - 4) = ((1/8 - 2) - (1/4 - 2)) / 4 = -1/16
If you meant <em>f(x)</em> = 1/(<em>x</em> - 2), then it would be
(<em>f</em> (8) - <em>f</em> (4)) / (8 - 4) = (1/(8 - 2) - 1/(4 - 2)) / 4 = (1/6 - 1/2) / 4 = -1/12
<em>Make sure to check which one is the correct function!</em>
-8 - 5n = 64 + 3n
+5n +5n add 5n to both sides, 5n's cancel out on the left.
______________
-8 = 64 + 8n
-64 -64 subtract 64 on both sides, 64's cancel out on the right.
______________
-72 = 8n
___ ___ divide 8 on both sides, 8's cancel out from the right.
8 8
n= -9, final answer
Answer:
60 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
300 = 2(30 + w) + 2(w)
300 = 60 +2w + 2w
300 = 60 + 4w
240 = 4w
60 = w
