Answer:

49 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

By proportion 7/6 = M/42 where M is Michael's age.

6M = 7 * 42

M = (7*42) / 6

M = 7 *7

= 49.

4x2 + 4x - 1, evaluate and fully simplify each of the - For the function f(0) following f(s + h) f(x + h) - f(5) h 10

Andrew [12]

Given the function f(x);

$f(x)=-4x^2+4x-1$

Evaluating the function f(x+h);

$\begin{gathered} f(x+h)=-4(x+h)^2+4(x+h)-1 \\ f(x+h)=-4(x^2+2xh+h^2)^{}+4(x+h)-1 \\ f(x+h)=-4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x+4h-1 \end{gathered}$

So;

$f(x+h)=-4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x+4h-1$

Evaluating the second function;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{-4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x+4h-1-(-4x^2+4x-1)}{h} \\ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{-4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x+4h-1+4x^2-4x+1}{h} \\ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{-4x^2+4x^2-4h^2-8xh^{}+4x-4x+4h-1+1}{h} \\ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{-4h^2-8xh^{}+4h}{h} \end{gathered}$

simplifying further;
