Answer:
There is no problem. If you put the problem then i'll help
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation :
[x(x+4)]/2=6 (as (b*h)/2=A)
x*x + 4*x -12 = 0
so, x = 2 units(as -6 is negative)
METHOD 1
f(3) = 20
f(4) = 30
f(5) = 42
f(6) = 56
rate of change
f(4)-f(3)=10
f(5)-f(4)=12
f(6)-f(5)=14
then the average of change is 10+12+14 /3 = 12
METHOD 2 --- faster
rate of change = f(6)-f(3) / 6-3
= (36+18+2)-(9+9+2) / 3
= 36/3 = 12
It will take 6 years for that to happen.
You can find this by setting Nichole's age as x and Sophie's age as x + 28 since she will always be 28 years older.
Now we are looking for a time that Sophie's age is equal to 2 less than 6 times Nichole's age. So we can set up the below equation.
6(x) - 2 = x + 28
6x - 2 = x + 28
5x - 2 = 28
5x = 30
x = 6
This let's us know that it needs to be when Nichole is 6, which is 6 years in the future.
