F ( x ) = - x² + 5 x + 4
between x = 3 and x = 5:
f ( 3 ) = - 3² + 5 · 3 + 4 = - 9 + 15 + 4 = 10
f ( 5 ) = - 5² + 5 · 5 + 4 = - 25 + 25 + 4 = 4
Average rate of change:
( 4 - 10 ) / ( 5 - 3 ) = - 6 : 2 = - 3 feet / sec

An engineer is building a bridge that should be able to hold a maximum weight of 1 ton. He builds a model of the bridge that is
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

First blank- 32000 ounces

Second blank- 2000 pounds

Yes the bridge can hold 1 ton.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the scale of the model to the real bridge = 1:4

The test model shows the model can take 8000 ounces

The real bridge will therefore take 8000 x 4 = 32000 ounces

16 ounces = 1 pound

32000 ounces =  x pounds

==>  = 32000/16 = 2000 pounds

2000 pounds = 1 ton

therefore the bridge holds 1 ton

Graph 25 = -5y -3x using the slope and y-intercept
wlad13 [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

you move -5y to the other side.

25=-5y-3xsubtract 25 both sides

0=-5y-3x-25then add 5y both sides

5y=-3x-25divide 5 both sides

y=-3/5x-5

m=-3/5 do rise over runrise/run

b=(0,-5)plot it

3 down and 5 to right or 3 up and 5 left

Solve the proportion. i need help.<br> x+3/6=8/3<br><br> x=?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

x = 2 1/6 (13/6)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve the proportion you must first find the LCF or least common factor

that is 6

so turn 8/3 into 16/6 by multiplying it by 2/2

x + 3/6 = 16/6

then you subtract 3/6 from both sides

x = 13/6

x is 2 1/6
