To find the average rate of change of given function f(x) on a given interval (a,b):
Find f(b)-f(a), b-a, and then divide your result for f(b)-f(a) by your result for b-a:
f(b) - f(a)
------------
b-a
Here your function is f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3. Substituting b=5 and a=-2,
f(5) = 5^2 -2(5)+3 =? and f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 3 = ?
Calculate f(5) - [ f(-2) ]
------------------ using your results, above.
5 - [-2]
Your answer to this, if done correctly, is the "average rate of change of the function f(x) = x^2+2x+3 on the interval [-2,5]."
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What we know
total sum of angles = 540 deg
3/2 b cam also be written as 1.5b degrees.
So 1.5b + (b+45) + (2b - 90) +90 = 540
Step 1 -- get rid of parenthesis
1.5b + b + 45 +2b -90 +90 =540
Step 2 -- combine the like expressions
4.5b + 45 = 540
Step 3 -- subtract 45 from both the sides
4.5b = 495
Step 4 -- divide 4.5 from both the sides
b = 110 ----- not the right answer
Thats not right okay im sorry
but i guess if it is not 110 it should be 100, 90 etc.
90 = b is correct
Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply to get:
3x=4(x+1)
3x=4(x+1)
3x=4x+4
x=-4
Try writing it in point-slope form and you will see why you have a problem.
slope m is equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1):
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (2-6)/(-6 - -6) = -4/0
The denominator has a zero, so it is undefined.
Since the point-slope form requires "m" to be defined, you can't write the equation of the line using point-slope form.
