Option C: -3 is the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$

Explanation:

The formula to determine the average rate of change is given by

Average rate of change = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We need to find the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$

Thus, from the table, we have,

$x_1=-1$ , $y_1=5$

$x_2=1$ , $y_2=-1$

Thus, substituting these values in the formula, we get,

Average rate of change = $\frac{-1-5}{1+1}$

$=\frac{-6}{2}$

$=-3$

Thus, the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$ is -3.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

The solution to 5 - 3x> 35 is either x>-10 or -10> x. which solution is correct

velikii [3]

It should be x < -10 because when you divide by a negative number the inequality sign flips.

Ryan is remodeling his kitchen floor, which is 110 square feet. He used

irakobra [83]

Answer:

He will need 9 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

let us highlight the given parameters

Given data

the size of the kitchen floor is 110 ft^2

the size of the bathroom is 28 ft^2

he used 32.5 tiles for the kitchen

and used x tiles for the bathroom

Step two:

if he used 32 tiles for 110 ft^2 kitchen

he will use x tiles for 28 ft^2 bathroom

cross multiplying we have

x= (32*28)/110

x= 896/110

x= 8.145

<em>Approximately he will need 9 tiles</em>

The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep

Alchen [17]

Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$
so the first 3 terms are
$a_1=a$
$a_2=a(r)$
$a_2=a(r)^2$

the sum is -7/10
$\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2$
and their product is -1/125
$\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3$

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r$
subsituting -1/5 for ar
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r$
which simplifies to
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}$
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for $ax^2+bx+c=0$
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

$r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}$
so
$r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ or $r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

use them to solve for the value of a
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
$\frac{-1}{5r}=a$
try for r=2 and 1/2
$a=\frac{-1}{10}$ or $a=\frac{-2}{5}$

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are $\frac{-2}{5}$ , $\frac{-1}{5}$ , and $\frac{-1}{10}$
