Answer:

(a)

f(a+h)=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4

(b)

f(a+h)-f(a)=2ah+h^{2} -3h

(c)

\frac{df(a+h)}{dx} \left \{ { \atop {a=7}} \right. =2h+11

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Simply evaluate (a+h) in the function:

f(a+h)=(a+h)^{2} -3(a+h)-4=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4

(b)

Evaluate (a) in the function:

f(a)=a^{2} -3a-4

Using the previous answers lets calculate f(a+h)-f(a)

f(a+h)-f(a)=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4-(a^{2} -3a-4)=2ah+h^{2} -3h

(c) To find the rate of change of f(a+1) when a=7 we need to calculate its derivate at that point:

\frac{df(a+h)}{dx} \left \{ { \atop {a=7}} \right. =2a+2h-3=2(7)+2h-3=2h+14-3=2h+11

Answer:

1a: 6.283

b: 51.313

c: 285.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a sector = (angle/360)πr²

1a

Area=(45/360)π(4²)=6.283

b

Area=(120/360)π(7²)=51.313

c

Area=(270/360)π(11²)=285.1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Number marbles >= 5

Discussion:

The only certain thing we can say is the jar contains at least 5 (green) marbles.  The table  shows probabilities, not certainties, and is no guarantee that any other marbles even exist  in the jar,

Thank you,
