The average rate of change over a given interval is the slope of the secant line through the endpoints of the interval.

m = \dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} =  \dfrac{f(103)-f(100)}{103-100}\\\\ = \dfrac{(103)^2-2500-[(100)^2-2500]}{103-100} =  \dfrac{609}{3}=203

$203/unit.

The instantaneous rate of change at a certain point is the slope of the tangent line.

We differentiate C to get 2x. We substitute 100 for x to get that the instantaneous rate of change at 100 is $200/unit.

The perimeter of a triangle is 17x−5 units. One side is 3x+5 units and another is 8x−3 units. How many units long is the third s
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

  6x -7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the length of the third side. The perimeter is the sum of the three side lengths.

  P = a + b + c

  (17x -5) = (3x +5) +(8x -3) +c

 17x -5 = 11x +2 + c . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  6x -7 = c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11x+2

The third side is 6x -7 units.

4x+5y=20 in point slope form
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

y = -4/5x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

4x + 5y = 20 ( subtract 4x on both sides)

5y = -4x + 20 (divide by 5 on each side)

y = -4/5x + 4

So we know one point is (0,4) y-intercept

now plug in (0,4)

y - 4 = -4/5(x-0) (Distribute -4/5 to x - 0)

y - 4 = -4/5x (now add 4 on each side)

y = -4/5x - 4
