Use average rates of change to determine if the function in the table is Linear or Non-linear.

nevsk [136]2 years ago

We have been given a table of values of a function. We are asked to determine whether the given function is linear or nonlinear.

We know that a function is linear when its rate of change (slope) is constant.

Let us find slope for each of the given points using slope formula.

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{-3-0}{4-1}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1

Similarly, we will find the slopes using other given coordinates.  

m=\frac{-6-(-3)}{7-4}=\frac{-6+3}{3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1

m=\frac{-9-(-6)}{10-7}=\frac{-9+6}{3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1

Since the rate of change for each set of points is -1, so the rate of change is constant.

Therefore, the given function is linear.

Answer:

x = 8

I dunno what the question is in the first place, but I assume you are solving for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given angles are equivalent because they are parallel and they have a line that intersects.

The line creates two angles on each side of each line, which is 120 or 60 because there are 180 degs on a straight line.

The obtuse side is 120, and the -8 + 16x is also on an obtuse angle, showing that they are equal.

120 = -8 + 16x

128 = 16x

8 = x

x = 8

Jon caught four fish that weighed a total of 252 pounds.The kingfish weighed twice as much as the amberjack and the white marlin
fenix001 [56]
1 Amberjack 
Kingfish equals 2 Amberjacks
Marlin equals 2 Kingfish or 4 Amberjacks
Tarpon equals 5 AmberJacks

So:
1A plus 2A plus 4A plus 5A equals the 252.
(where A is weight of the AmberJack).

Therefore:
12A equals 252, and A is 21. (252/12 = 21)

Then:
The Amberjack is 21Ibs.
The Kingfish (twice as much as A) is 42Ibs.
The Marlin (four times A) is 84Ibs.
And the Tarpon (five times A) is 105Ibs. 

To Check:
21 + 42 + 84 + 105 = 252
