Just find the slope
that is ((f(6)-f(2))/(6-2)

f(6)=6^2+5(6)-8=36+30-8=58
f(2)=2^2+5(2)-8=4+10-8=6

average is (f(6)-f(2))/(6-2)=(58-6)/(4)=52/4=13

average rate of change is 13

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) from $x_1$ and $x_2$ is given by :-

$A=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$

Therefore, for the given function $f(x)=x^2+5x-8$ , the average rate of change from x = 2 to x = 6 is given by :-

$A=\frac{f(6)-f(2)}{6-2}\\\\=\frac{(6^2+5(6)-8)-(2^2+5(2)-8)}{4}\\\\=\frac{58-6}{4}\\\\=\frac{52}{4}=13\\\\\Rightarrow A=13$

Hence, the average rate of change from x = 2 to x = 6 is 13.

Answer:

Answer: C 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

total students = 25

total girls = 15

total boys = 25-15 = 10

boys:girls = 10:15

divide by 5 to get 2:3

The most recent census for a city indicated that there were 919,716 residents. The population of the city is expected to increas

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1,474,951.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a population that increases by a constant percentage, we can model the population's growth using the exponential model.

$P(t)=P_o(1+r)^t,$ where \left\{\begin{array}{lll}P_o=$Initial Population\\r$=Growth rate\\$t=time (in years)\end{array}\right\\P_o=919,716\\r=3.7\%=0.037\\$t=13 years$

Therefore, the population of the city in 13 years time will be:

$P(t)=919,716(1+0.037)^{13}\\\\=919,716(1.037)^{13}\\\\=1,474,950.9\\\\\approx 1,474,951$

The population be at that time will be approximately 1,474,951.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$1.1-2.02\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{50}}=-0.30$

$1.1+2.02\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{50}}=2.50$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (-0.30;2.50)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=1.1$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=4.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=51 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=51-1=50$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,50)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.02$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$1.1-2.02\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{50}}=-0.30$

$1.1+2.02\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{50}}=2.50$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (-0.30;2.50)

Triangle ABC

Virty [35]

Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. To solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). Out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

$\frac{BC}{EF} =\frac{AC}{DF}$ .
