Solve the equation by replacing x with -7 and then -1.
Then subtract the two to find the difference and divide that by the difference between -7 and -1.
f(-7) = -7^2 + 2(-7) -8 = 49 -14 -8 = 27
f(-1) = -1^2 + 2(-1) -8 = 1 -2 - 8 = -9
Difference between 27 and -9 = -36
Difference between -1 and -7 = -6
Rate of change = -36 /-6 = 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Now, us simplify the given differential equation and write it in terms of D,

or, 
or, 
We have our auxiliary equation:

or, 
or, 
Therefore our solution is,

and, 
Applying the boundary conditions, we get,


Solving them gives us,

Hence,

The vertex form of the function gives the vertex as (-6,48). The vertex of f(x)=x^2 is (0,0) so from this information, the vertex is moved LEFT 6 and UP 48. This cancels out two options. The coefficient -3 tells us that the graph is flipped or reflected over the x-axis (negative sign flips graph) and that all y-values will be 3 times as large. Larger y-values for the same x inputs makes the graph narrower.
