Answer:
3/2
1.5
1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel are two equations that have the same slope but different y intercepts.
If the y intercepts are also the same, it is just the same line.
Answer: admission cost is 21 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of <em>g(x)</em> over the interval [2, 8] is given by
(<em>g</em> (8) - <em>g</em> (2)) / (8 - 2)
In other words, it's the slope of the line through the points (2, <em>g</em> (2)) and (8, <em>g</em> (8)).
Use the definition of the function to evaluate it at the points in the numerator:
• 8 ≥ 4, so using the second piece, <em>g</em> (8) = -0.5(8) + 8 = 4
• 2 < 4, so <em>g</em> (2) = 5(2) + 1 = 11
Then the average rate of change is
(<em>g</em> (8) - <em>g</em> (2)) / (8 - 2) = (4 - 11) / 6 = -7/6
