Mathematics

Option B

Over the [-4,-1], the function has positive rate of change

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The average rate of change is given by formula:</u></em>

Rate\ of\ change = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Given function is:

f(x) = x^3-9x

<h3><em><u>Option A</u></em></h3>

[-2,1]

Find f(-2) and f(1)

Substitute x = -2 in given function

f(-2) = (-2)^3 -9(-2)\\\\f(-2) = -8 + 18 = 10

Substitute x = 1 in given function

f(1) = 1^3-9(1) = 1-9 = -8

Find rate of change:

Rate\ of\ change = \frac{f(-2)-f(1)}{-2-1}\\\\Rate\ of\ change = \frac{10-(-8)}{-3} = \frac{18}{-3} = -6

Thus this has a negative rate of change

<h3><u>Option B</u></h3>

[-4,-1]

Find f(-4) and f(-1)

Substitute x = -4 in given function

f(-4) = (-4)^3 -9 (-4) = -64 + 36 = -28

Substitute x = -1 in given function

f(-1) = (-1)^3 -9(-1)\\\\f(-1) = -1 + 9 = 8

Find rate of change:

Rate\ of\ change = \frac{8-(-28)}{-1-(-4)} = \frac{36}{3} = 12

Thus this has a positive rate of change

<h3><u>Option C</u></h3>

[-1,2]

Substitute x = -1 in given function

f(-1) = (-1)^3 -9(-1)\\\\f(-1) = -1 + 9 = 8

Substitute x = 2 in given function

f(2) = 2^3 -9(2) = 8-18 = -10

Find rate of change:

Rate\ of\ change = \frac{-10-8}{2-(-1)} = \frac{-18}{3} = -6

Thus this has a negative rate of change

<h3><u>Option D</u></h3>

[-3,3]

Substitute x = -3 in given functiom

f(-3) = (-3)^3 - 9(-3) = -27 + 27 = 0

Substitute x = 3 in given function

f(3) = 3^3 -9(3) = 27 - 27 = 0

Find rate of change:

Rate\ of\ change = \frac{0-0}{3-(-3)} = 0

Thus rate of change is 0

Answer:

<h2>20</h2>

<em>Solution</em><em>,</em>

<em><</em><em>N=</em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>0</em><em>-</em><em>5</em><em>3</em><em>-</em><em>4</em><em>4</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>8</em><em>3</em>

<h3><em>Apply </em><em>sines </em><em>rule,</em></h3>

<em>\frac{lm}{sin \: 83}  =  \frac{14}{sin44}  \\ lm =  \frac{14 \: sin \: 83}{sin \: 44}  \\ lm = 20</em>

<em>hope </em><em>this </em><em>helps.</em><em>.</em>
