Well, I can't figure out the answer at the moment, but I can give you a tip. Just substite each possible sign in the to see if one works... for example: +++, x+-, ++-....
Hope this helps you out :)
Answer:
b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the function
. We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).
f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2
So, we have the point (2, 1/2)
At point b, f(b) = 1/b.
Let's plug this into the slope formula:

Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).

Now, cross multiply.


Solve for b. Factor using the numbers -4 and -2.

Thus, b=4 or b=2.
However, b=2 is not a possible solution since the interval [2,2] means nothing. Thus, b=4.
Answer:
765
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
1 batch is 1/4 cups of cranberries.
This means that we have to find the number of groups of 1/4 in 6 1/2 cups to find the number of batches.
(The decimal forms of these numbers are 6.5 and 0.25)
6.5/0.25=26
There are 26 batches
