What is the average rate of change for the function f(x)=x^2+4 for the domain of -2 to 4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic function the average rate of change on an interval is the rate of change at the midpoint of the interval. The rate of change of a function is given by its derivative.

The derivative of f(x) = x^2 is f'(x) = 2x. The midpoint of the interval is (4+(-2))/2 = 1. Then the average rate of change is ...

  f'(1) = 2(1) = 2

The average rate of change of f(x) on [-2, 4] is 2.

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The average rate of change is the slope of the line between the end points of the interval:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (f(4) -f(-2))/(4 -(-2)) = (20 -8)/(6) = 2

The average rate of change on [-2, 4] is 2.

_____

The attached graph shows the points on the curve and a line with slope 2 between them. It also shows the various slope calculations.

I have a past due balance of $87.50 and my new charges are $75.00. I was also charged a late fee of 15% of my past due balance.
Kitty [74]
Past due balance = $87.50
Late fee = 15% of $87.50 = 0.15*87.50 = $13.125
New charges = $75.00

New total = 87.50 + 13.125 + 75 = $175.625

Answer: The new total is $175.63

Step2247 [10]
Sally = 1/3
Jerry = 5/6
David = 1/2
Mona = 1 - 7/8 = 1/8

So, the biggest fraction among them is 5/6.

Jerry has completed the most work time.

Yan has already finished 3/5 of the 45 math problems he was assigned today. Each math problem took him 1 4/5 of a minute to comp
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

He will finish the rest of the problems in 32.4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that Yan has completed 3/5 of 45 problems i.e.

\frac{3}{5}*45

27

Thus he has completed 27 problems

Remaining no. of problems are 45-27 = 18

Since he complete each problem in minutes = 1\frac{4}{5} =\frac{9}{5} =1.8

So, he completes 18 problems in minutes = 18 *1.8 = 32.4 minutes

Hence , He will finish the rest of the problems in 32.4 minutes.

A bag contains only black marbles and white marbles . Ezra reached into the bag without looking , got 30 marbles , and found tha
Keith_Richards [23]
2/5

Since 12 out of 30 marbles were black, you can assume that the percentage of black marbles in the bag is 40% (Ex: 12/30=.4) The probability that the marble you pick is black is equal to the percentage of black marbles in the bag. 40% is equal to 2/5.

The length of a rectangle is 6 more than twice its width. The
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The answer is option (C). The width of the rectangle=6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the rectangle</em>

width=w

length=w+6

<em>Step 2: Determine the perimeter of the rectangle</em>

P=2(L+W)

where;

P=perimeter

L=length

W=width

In our case;

P=36 inches

L=w+6

w=w

replacing;

2(w+w+6)=36

2(2 w+6)=36

4 w+12=36

4 w=36-12=24

4 w=24

w=24/4=6

W=6 inches

L=6+6=12 inches

The width of the rectangle=6 inches
