Find the average rate of change between f(-7) and f(-1) in the function f(x)=x^2+2x -8

Mathematics

Viktor [21]4 years ago

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

2. Graph each equation using a table of values.<br> (a)) y = 3x - 1
kiruha [24]

Make an x and y table, and pick any values to plug in for x in the equation.

I will use the numbers from -2 to 2

Now plug in the values you picked for x into the equation to find its y-value

x = -2

y = 3x - 1   Plug in -2 for x

y = 3(-2) - 1

y = -6 - 1

y = -7

x = -1

y = 3x - 1

y = 3(-1) - 1

y = -3 - 1

y = -4                

Do the same for the rest of the numbers, and graph each point and draw a line connecting them.

A sample of n = 5 scores has a mean of m = 8. one new score is added to the sample and the new mean is calculated to be m = 9. w
Yuri [45]
If the 5 scores have a mean of 8, then their total sum would be 8*5 = 40

Now if one score if added (let's call this score x), there are 6 scores and the mean changes to 9, thus:
(40 + x)/6 = 9
40 + x = 54
x = 14

Determine whether a triangle with given side lengths will be a right triangle?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorrem.  Find the sum of the squares of the two shortest sides and determine whether this sum equals the square of the longest side:

#19:  5^2 + 12^2 = ? = 13^2

 25  +  144  = ? = 169    This is true, so you do have a right triange in #19.

#21:  2^2 + 4^2 = ? = 7^2, or 4 + 16 = ? = 49     This is false.  Not a right

                                                                            triangle.

Apply this same approach (Pythagorean Theorem) to the remaining problems.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Options (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the congruence of the triangles ΔADB and ΔADC,

                Statements                             Reasons

1). AB ≅ AC                                   1). Given

2). AD ≅ AD                                 2). Reflexive property

3). ∠BAD ≅ ∠CAD                       3). Given

4). ΔABD ≅ ΔCAD                       4). SAS postulate

Therefore, Options (C) will be the correct option.
