Water coming out from a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = -x2 + 5x + 4 where f(x) represents the height, in feet, of th

e water from the fountain at different times x, in seconds.
What does the average rate of change of f(x) from x = 3 to x = 5 represent?

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

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the midpoint using the midpoint formula

[ 0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 5)

midpoint = [ 0.5(- 1 + 5), 0.5(5 + 5) ]

              = [ 0.5(4), 0.5(10) ] = (2, 5 ) → A

Write the recursive rule and the iterative rule for the following sequence: 10, 6, 2, -2, -6
barxatty [35]
The recursive rule is
a_n=a_{n-1}+(-4). 
The iterative rule is
a_n=14-4n

The recursive rule is given by the formula 
a_n=a_{n-1}+d, where d is the common difference.  Our common difference is -4, which gives us the recursive rule above.

The iterative rule begins with the formula
a_n=a_1+d(n-1), where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference.  Our first term is 10 and our common difference is -4:
a_n=10+(-4)(n-1)
\\\text{Using the Distributive Property,}
\\
\\a_n=10+(-4*n)+(-4*-1)
\\
\\a_n=10-4n+4
\\
\\\text{Combining like terms,}
\\
\\a_n=14-4n
