Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you can solve for the fractions first, but you have to give them a common denominator
which is in simplest form
then solve for the whole numbers
3-2=1
therefore, the answer is
Answer:
a. -5
b.-5
c.-5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the average rate of change of a function , we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.
Generally, the average rate of change (ARC) on an ecuatios between two points (x1,f(x1)) and (x2,f(x2)) is
- ARC = [f(x2)-f(x1)]/ (x2-x1)
<em>In case a)</em>
f(-1)= -5*(-1)-8=5-8= -3 f(3)= -5*3-8= -23
Then ARC= (-23-(-3))/(3-(-1))=-20/4=-5
<em>In case b)</em>
f(a)= (-5a-8)
f(b)= (-5b-8)
Then ARC= [(-5b-8)-(-5a-8)]/(b-a)= (-5b+5a)/(b-a)= -5(b-a)/(b-a)= -5
<em>In case c)</em>
f(x)= -5x-8
f(x+h)= -5(x+h)-8= -5x-5h-8
then ARC= [(-5x-5h-8)-(-5x-8)]/(x+h-x) =-5h/h= -5
The problem statement appears to be trying to tell you that 60 million barrels of crude were processed, resulting in 34% of that volume being turned into gasoline, which was then sold for a total of $408 million. You are asked for the revenue associated with 1 barrel of gasoline.
($408·10^6)/(60·10^6 bbl × 0.34) = $408/(20.4 bbl) = $20/bbl
The income from one barrel of gasoline is $20.00.
