5% = 32 therefore 5 * 20 = 100% so 32 * 20 = 640 fuses were inspected

Find the average rate of change for f(x) = x2 − 3x − 10 from x = 4 to x = 6. A) 5 Reactivate B) 7 C) 9 Reactivate D) 11

White raven [17]

Answer:Rate of change is 7

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the average rate of change for $f(x)=x^2-3x-10$ from x = 4 to x = 6

The formula used to find average rate of change is:

$Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Where b = 6 and x = 4

Finding f(6):

$f(x)=x^2-3x-10\\f(6)=(6)^2-3(6)-10\\f(6)=36-18-10\\f(6)=36-28\\f(6)=8$

Finding f(4):

$f(x)=x^2-3x-10\\f(4)=(4)^2-3(4)-10\\f(4)=16-12-10\\f(4)=16-22\\f(4)=-6$

Now Putting values:

$Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

$Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{8-(-6)}{6-4}\\Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{8+6}{2}\\Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{14}{2}\\Rate\,\,of\,\,change=7$

So, Rate of change is 7

Option B is correct.

Big Ben, the famous clock tower in London, has a minute hand that is 14 feet long. How far does the tip of the minute hand of Bi

ycow [4]

Answer:

36.65 ft (2 dp)

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles around a point sum to 360°
1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore, the minute hand of a clock travels 360° in 60 minutes

Number of degrees the minute hand will travel in 25 minutes:

$\sf =\dfrac{360}{60} \times 25=150^{\circ}$

To find how far the tip of the minute hand travels in 25 minutes, use the Arc Length formula:

$\textsf{Arc length}=2 \pi r\left(\dfrac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\right)$

$\textsf{(where r is the radius and}\:\theta\:{\textsf{is the angle in degrees)}$

Given:

r = length of minute hand = 14 ft
$\theta$ = 150°

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Arc length} &=2 \pi (14)\left(\dfrac{150^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\right)\\ & = 28\pi \left(\dfrac{5}{12}\right)\\ & = \dfrac{35}{3} \pi \\ & = 36.65\: \sf ft\:(2\:dp)\end{aligned}$
