Answer:
b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the function 
. We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).
f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2
So, we have the point (2, 1/2)
At point b, f(b) = 1/b.
Let's plug this into the slope formula:
Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).
Now, cross multiply.
Solve for b. Factor using the numbers -4 and -2.
Thus, b=4 or b=2.
However, b=2 is not a possible solution since the interval [2,2] means nothing. Thus, b=4.

Answer:
1.25 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Cosine is a maximum at cos(0) = 1, and a minimum at cos(π) = -1.
At the maximum:
8π/5 t = 0
t = 0
At the minimum:
8π/5 t = π
t = 5/8
t = 0.625
The time from maximum to minimum is 0.625 seconds. Therefore, the time from minimum back to maximum is also 0.625 seconds. So the total time is:
0.625 + 0.625 = 1.25
