7.8335 is a number between 7.833 and 8.834
Answer:
1.133 is about 1, 7.684 is about 8, and 4.718 is about 5. Thus, 1 + 8 + 5 = about 14.
You did not include the graph.
Searching on internet I found a graph with which I can help you. I will solve the question using and so you can understand the problem and solve with the real graph.
1) The slope of line given the graph is calculated as:
slope = run / rise = Δy / Δx = constant.
2) So, you can choose any two points to calculate the slope.
3) Uisng the points (50,20) and (30,10) you get:
slope = [ 20 - 10] / [50 - 30] = 10 / 20 = 1/2
4) Note that that means that the plant grows 1 cm in 2 days
5) The rate of change is 1cm / 2 weeks.
With this you know how to calculate the slope, which is the same rate of change, and the meaning of it, which permits to answer the question from the complete statement and graph.
The correct answer is –6x + 15 < 10 – 5x.
We can tell this by solving for x.
–3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x) ----> Multiply to the parenthesis.
-6x + 15 < 10 - 5x ----> This is answer #3 and now we add 5x to both sides
-x + 15 < 10 ----> subtract 15 from both sides
-x < -5 ----> Divide by -1
x > 5 (Note that you have to change the direction of the sign when dividing by a -1. Therefore it does not match answer #1).
