Answers:
The formula is [f(-1)-f(-4)]/[3]
The value of f(-1) is 3
The value of f(-4) is -3
The average rate of change is 2
==============================================
Explanation:
For the first blank, we use the formula
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]
where 'a' and 'b' are the endpoints for the x interval
In this case, a = -4 and b = -1. When you plug those values into the formula above, you get...
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ -1 - (-4) ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ -1+4 ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
which is why the answer is choice C for the first blank
-------------------------------------------
To compute the value of f(-1), we draw a vertical line through -1 on the x axis. This vertical line crosses the diagonal function graph at the point (-1,3). The y value of this point is what we want. Plugging in x = -1 leads to y = 3. This is why f(-1) = 3
If you want, you can draw a horizontal line through (-1,3) and you'll see it touching 3 on the y axis.
-------------------------------------------
Follow similar steps as above to compute f(-4). Draw a vertical line through x = -4 on the x axis. Mark the point where the vertical line crosses the diagonal line. This point is (-4,-3). Optionally draw a horizontal line over til you hit the y axis and you'll find that y = -3 corresponds to x = -4
This is why f(-4) = -3
-------------------------------------------
We'll use the last three sections to compute the average rate of change. Everything combines together building up to this moment.
From the first part, we had the formula
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
We can replace the "f(-1)" with 3 since we found that f(-1) = 3
Similarly, f(-4) = -3 so we can replace the "f(-4)" with -3
Doing those replacements and simplifying leads to...
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
[ 3 - (-3)]/[ 3 ]
[ 3 + 3]/[ 3 ]
6/3
2
So the average rate of change is 2
Note: because the entire graph is a straight line, the average rate of change for any interval a < x < b is going to be equal to the slope m. In this case, the slope of the line is m = 2/1 = 2. We move up 2 units each time we move to the right 1 unit along the diagonal line.
Answer:
x = 4.4
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume you want to solve for x so here we go.
You need to work backwards for this equation, and whatever you do to the LHS, you do to the RHS.
First, you need to remove the minus 3, which means that on both sides, you add 3. Adding three on the LHS makes the -3 disappear, and adding 3 on the RHS makes the 19 go to a 22.
Your equation is now 5x=22.
Since 5x means 5 × x, to get rid of it, you need to divide 5x by 5. Doing it to the LHS will make the five disappear, and doing it to the RHS will make it go to 22 ÷ 5 which equals 4.4
Therefore, x = 4.4
Answer:
4....
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay! Free points, uh... 2... and 2... put together... is... four...
m<A = 114° , m<Q = 114° , m< D= 66° ,m<U = 66°
x=13
FIRST THREE OPTIONS
A,B,C
Distribute the two: 2x + 6 = 18
Subtract the six: 2x = 12
Divide by two: x = 6
That's your answer!
