Answer:

  a) 1/2

  b) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The average rate of change is the slope of the segment whose end points are the ends of the interval. On the interval [2, 8] the average rate of change is ...

  m = (f(8) -f(2))/(8 -2) = (4 -1)/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

The average rate of change on the interval [2, 8] is 1/2.

__

b) In this context, "slope" and "average rate of change" mean the same thing. A line with the same slope will have a slope of 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben\ invited\ p\ peoples\\\\

Charges of birthday party:

Flat\ fees=\$ 45\\\\Per\ person\ charges=\$ 5.50\\\\Charges\ for\ p\ people=p\times per\ person\ charges\\\\Charges\ for\ p\ people=p\times 5.50\\\\Charges\ for\ p\ people=5.50p\\\\Total\ charges\ for\ party=flat\ fee+charges\ for\ p\ person\\\\Total\ charges\ for\ party=45+5.50p

Ben\ has\ money=\$ 80\\\\Ben\ can\ not\ spend\ more\ than\ that.\\\\\Rightarrow Party\ charges\ for\ p\ peoples\leq 80\\\\5.50p+45\leq 80\\\\5.50p+45-45\leq 80-45\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ subtract\ 45\ from\ both\ sides\\\\5.50p\leq  35\\\\p\leq \frac{35}{5.5}\\\\p\leq 6.36\approx 6\\\\p\leq  6

What is the solution set of y=2x^2+8x and x-2.23y+10.34=0
trasher [3.6K]
First, let's put the second equation, <span>x-2.23y+10.34=0, in terms of y:
x - 2.23y +10.34 = 0   
2.23y = x + 10.34
y =  .45x + 4.64
Now we can substitute the right side of this equation for y in the first equation
</span><span>y=2x^2+8x
.45x + 4.64 = 2x^2 + 8x
Turn it into a quadratic by getting 0 on one side:
2x^2 + 8x - .45x - 4.64 = 0
2x^2 + 7.55x - 4.64 = 0 Divide both sides by 2
x^2 + 3.76x - 2.32 = 0
x =( -b +/- </span>√(b² - 4ac) ) / 2a
x =( -3.76 +/- √(14.14 + 9.28)) ÷ 2
x = .54 or -4.31

Plug the x values into y = .45x + 4.64
y = .45 (.54) + 4.64
y = 4.88 when x= .54

y = .45 (-4.31) + 4.64
y = 2.70 when x= -4.31

Solution set:
{ (0.54, 4.88) , (-4.31, 2.70) }
