Answer:

5 ounces of oysters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a graph of the total weight, in ounces, of Steve's bag of oysters, y, with respect to the amount of time that he spends looking for them in minutes, x,

Now we are supposed to find the average rate of change over the interval [2, 10]

Formula of Average rate : \frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

Now At x = 2 , f(2)= y = 20

At x=10  , f(10)= y = 60

Substitute the values in the formula

Average rate : \frac{f(10)-f(2)}{10-2}

Average rate : \frac{60-20}{10-2}

Average rate : \frac{40}{8}

Average rate : 5

Thus he average rate of change over the interval [2, 10]  is 5 ounces of oysters per minute

What would the bottles purchased be and what would the bottles recycled be?
N76 [4]

Part A

Your problem statement already shows you the conversion.

Bottles purchased: 5×10¹⁰

Bottles recycled: 8.3×10⁹

Part B

The ratio of bottles purchased to bottles recycled is

... (5×10¹⁰)/(8.3×10⁹) = 0.6×10¹ = 6.0

The number of bottles purchased is 6 times the number of bottles recycle.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

d=16

Step-by-step explanation:

d: distance (10,4),(-6,4)

d=√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

d=√(-6-10)^2+(4-4)^2

d=√16^2

d=16
