G(x) is a quadratic function with a parabolic graph that opens up and has vertex at (0,0). If we dilate this vertically by a factor of 6, we get h(x) = 6x^2.
If we translate the graph of h(x) 1 unit up and 4 units to the right, we get
k(x) = 6(x-4)^2 + 1.
A word to the wise: It's <span> f(x)=125(0.9)^x, where ^ represents exponentiation.
In this case the ave. value over the interval [11, 15] is
125(0.9)^15 - 125(0.9)^11
------------------------------------- = (125/4) [ 0.9^15 - 0.9^11)
15 - 11 = (31.25) [ 0.2059 - 0.3138 ] = a negative result
= (31.25)(-0.1079) = -3.372 (av. r. of c.
over the interval [11,15] )
Do the same thing for the time interval [1,5]. Then compare the two rates of change.</span>
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain the variable.
X = -2
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
