Explanation:

a. The line joining the midpoints of the parallel bases is perpendicular to both of them. It is the line of symmetry for the trapezoid. This means the angles and sides on one side of that line of symmetry are congruent to the corresponding angles and sides on the other side of the line. The diagonals are the same length.

b. We observe that adjacent pairs of points have the same x-coordinate, so are on vertical lines, which have undefined slope. KN is a segment of the line x=1; LM is a segment of the line x=3. If the trapezoid is isosceles, the midpoints of these segments will be on a horizontal line. The midpoint of KN is at y=(3-2)/2 = 1/2. The midpoint of LM is at y=(1+0)/2 = 1/2. These points are on the same horizontal line, so the trapezoid is isosceles.

c. We observed in part (b) that the parallel sides are KN and LM. The coordinate difference between K and L is (1, 3) -(3, 1) = (-2, 2). That is, segment KL is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with side lengths 2, so the lengths of KL and MN are both 2√2.

_____

For part (c), we used the shortcut that the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is √2 times the leg length.

Part A:

The average rate of change refers to a function's slope. Thus, we are going to need to use the slope formula, which is:

$m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are points on the function

You can see that we are given the x-values for our interval, but we are not given the y-values, which means that we will need to find them ourselves. Remember that the y-values of functions refers to the outputs of the function, so to find the y-values simply use your given x-value in the function and observe the result:

$h(0) = 3(5)^0 = 3 \cdot 1 = 3$

$h(1) = 3(5)^1 = 3 \cdot 5 = 15$

$h(2) = 3(5)^2 = 3 \cdot 25 = 75$

$h(3) = 3(5)^3 = 3 \cdot 125 = 375$

Now, let's find the slopes for each of the sections of the function:

Section A

$m = \dfrac{15 - 3}{1 - 0} = \boxed{12}$

Section B

$m = \dfrac{375 - 75}{3 - 2} = \boxed{300}$

Part B:

In this case, we can find how many times greater the rate of change in Section B is by dividing the slopes together.

$\dfrac{m_B}{m_A} = \dfrac{300}{12} = 25$

It is 25 times greater. This is because $3(5)^x$ is an exponential growth function, which grows faster and faster as the x-values get higher and higher. This is unlike a linear function which grows or declines at a constant rate.

Answer=A

Let's write the an equation in slope intercept for for the line.

y-intercept=10

slope=rise/run=15/2=7.5

equation:

y=mx+b
y=7.5x+10

Solve for x=7

y=7.5(7)+10
y=52.5+10
y=62.5

Answer=A
