Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is found by
f(x2) - f(x1)
-------------------
x2 -x1
We know that f(x2) = -26 when x2 =5
And f(x1) = -10 when x1 = 3
-26 - (-10)
---------------
5 - 3
-26+10
---------------
2
-16/2
-8
The answer is D because side 3 is to far from side 1 and side 2 because you cant make a triangle out of those measurements
Here's a tip
if the sum of side 1 and side 2 are greater than side 3 then it forms a triangle
5 infinitely many
6. none
