Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(x+6) = 18

Distribute

1/2 x + 3 = 18

Subtract 3 from each side

1/2x +3-3 = 18-3

1/2x = 15

Multiply each side by 2

1/2x*2 = 15*2

x = 30

X=30
Distribute 1/2 to x and 6
Subtract 3 from both sides
Divide 1/2 on both sides

Estimate the rate of change of the graphed function over the interval -4 <_ x <_ 0

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

0.2071

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like the graph is of the function ...

y = √(x +8) -2

We know that (-4, 0) is one point on the graph. The other point of interest is at x=0, where y = √8 -2 ≈ 0.8284.

The average rate of change on the interval is then ...

m = (0.8284 -0)/(0 -(-4)) = 0.2071

The average rate of change on the interval is about 0.2071.

_____

<em>Rougher estimate</em>

The graph goes through the points (-4, 0) and (1, 1), so has a slope of 1/5 = 0.2 on the interval [-4, 1]. We know the graph does not go through (0, 1), so the slope is not as high as 1/4 = 0.25. The curve is concave downward, so the average slope will be higher than 0.2, but we aren't sure how much higher.

A reasonable estimate of the rate of change on the interval is "a little more than 0.2, but less than 0.25."

If m∠a=47°, what is m∠b, m∠c, and m∠d? Explain how you know the measures are correct.

avanturin [10]

m ∠b = 133°, m ∠c = 47°, and m ∠d = 133°.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Follow the attached picture. I sincerely hope that's precisely a correct illustration.

We will use a graph of two intersecting straight lines.

Note that m ∠a and m ∠c are vertical angles. Since vertical angles share the same measures, in other words always congruent, we see $\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{c} = m \ \angle{a} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{c} = 47^0 \ }}$

We continue to determine m ∠b and m ∠d.

Note that m ∠b and m ∠d represent supplementary angles. Recall that supplementary angles add up to 180°.

Let us see the following steps.

$\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{a} + m \ \angle{b} = 180^0. \ }$

$\boxed{ \ m \ 47^0 + m \ \angle{b} = 180^0. \ }$

Both sides subtracted by 47°.

$\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{b} = 180^0 - 47^0. \ }$

Thus $\boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{b} = 133^0. \ }}$

Finally, note that m ∠b and m ∠d are vertical angles. Accordingly, $\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{d} = m \ \angle{b} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{d} = 133^0 \ }}$

<u>Conclusion:</u>

m ∠a = 47°
m ∠b = 133°
m ∠c = 47°
m ∠d = 133°

<u>Notes:</u>

Supplementary angles are two angles when they add up to 180°. $\boxed{ \ example: \angle{a} + \angle{b} = 180^0 \ }$
Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross. Note that vertical angles are always congruent, or of equal measure. $\boxed{ \ example: \angle{a} = \angle{c} \ }$
