Estimate the rate of change of the graphed function over the interval -4 <_ x <_ 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  0.2071

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like the graph is of the function ...

  y = √(x +8) -2

We know that (-4, 0) is one point on the graph. The other point of interest is at x=0, where y = √8 -2 ≈ 0.8284.

The average rate of change on the interval is then ...

  m = (0.8284 -0)/(0 -(-4)) = 0.2071

The average rate of change on the interval is about 0.2071.

_____

<em>Rougher estimate</em>

The graph goes through the points (-4, 0) and (1, 1), so has a slope of 1/5 = 0.2 on the interval [-4, 1]. We know the graph does not go through (0, 1), so the slope is not as high as 1/4 = 0.25. The curve is concave downward, so the average slope will be higher than 0.2, but we aren't sure how much higher.

A reasonable estimate of the rate of change on the interval is "a little more than 0.2, but less than 0.25."

Find the greatest possible value for a+b+c+d if b is a positive integer and a,b,c,d satisfy the system of equations
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a+b+c+d = -5\cdot b

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is now reduced:

1) a+b = c, b+c = d, c+d=a, b > 0 Given

2) a = c+d By 1)

3) (c+d)+b=c 2) in 1)

4) d = b + c By 1)

5) [c+(b+c)]+b = c 4) in 3)

6) 2\cdot b + 2\cdot c = c Algebra

7) c = -2\cdot b Algebra

8) d = -b 7) in 4)/Algebra

9) a = -3\cdot b 7) and 8) in 2)/Algebra

10) a+b+c+d = -5\cdot b 9), 1), 7) and 8)/Algebra/Result
