Answer:

r\geq 1\frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represents the number of inches of rain Hector's lawn still needs.

It has rained \frac{3}{8} inch already this week.

We have been given that Hector waters his lawn if it does not get least 1\frac{1}{2} inches of rain each week.This means the amount of it already rained this week plus r should be greater than or equal to 1\frac{1}{2}.

We can represent this information in an inequality as:

\frac{3}{8}+r\geq 1\frac{1}{2}

\frac{3}{8}+r\geq \frac{3}{2}

\frac{3}{8}-\frac{3}{8}+r\geq \frac{3}{2}-\frac{3}{8}

r\geq \frac{3*4}{2*4}-\frac{3}{8}

r\geq \frac{12}{8}-\frac{3}{8}

r\geq \frac{12-3}{8}

r\geq \frac{9}{8}

r\geq 1\frac{1}{8}

Therefore, the inequality r\geq 1\frac{1}{8} represents the inches of rain Hector's Lawn still needs.

Given:

Rain required = 11.5 inches/week
It rained = 3/8 inch this week

Working equation:

The number of inches of rain, r, Hector's lawn still needs so that he won't have to water it.

11/2 ≤ 3/8 + r

where r is the number of inches of rain needed by Hector's lawn.

What is the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 4?
hammer [34]
1) find the corresponding y values for when x = 0 and when x = 4,
when x = 0, y = 4
when x = 4, y = 4

the coordinates are (0,4) and (4,4)

2) to calculate the average rate of change, find the slope of the two points:

(0,4) (4,4)

(change in y) 4 - 4 = 0
(change in x) 4 - 0 = 4

0/4 = 0

the average rate of change is 0!

Answer:

  a)  12

  b)  y +5 = 12(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a function is its derivative.

a) The slope of y = x^3 +3 at any point is y' = 3x^2. So, at the point where x=-2, the slope of the curve is ...

  m = 3(-2)^2 = 12 . . . . slope at (-2, -5)

__

b) The equation of the tangent line is most easily written using the point-slope form of the equation of a line.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y +5 = 12(x +2) . . . . line with slope 12 through point (-2, -5)
