Answer:

D,

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the present age of William, 15 years from now is x+15, and that is equal to 3 times 3() the age he had 5 years ago (x-5)., the equation is x+15=3(x-5)

Answer:

I don't know what the following sentence is:

But D is the equation to represent the situation

and A is what turns out to be his current age.

(If you want more help, on this question please post the following sentence).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the current age.

15 years from now his age is 3 times his age 5 years ago means we have the equation:

x+15=3(x-5)

(I added x to 15 because we said 15 years in the future)

Let's solve this to see if makes any sense just for fun:

Distribute:

x+15=3x-15

Add 15 on both sides:

x+30=3x

Subtract x on both sides:

30=2x

Divide both sides by 2:

15=x

So this means his current age is 15.

5 years ago his age would have been 10.

15 years in the future his age will be 30.

Is 30 equal to 3 times 10? Yes, it is! The equation does make sense.

For the function y=3x2: (a) Find the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval [3,6]. (b) Find the instant

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ at the value $x = 3$ is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Geometrically speaking, the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval by definition of secant line:

$r = \frac{y(b) -y(a)}{b-a}$ (1)

Where:

$a$ , $b$ - Lower and upper bounds of the interval.

$y(a)$ , $y(b)$ - Function exaluated at lower and upper bounds of the interval.

If we know that $y = 3\cdot x^{2}$ , $a = 3$ and $b = 6$ , then the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval is:

$r = \frac{3\cdot (6)^{2}-3\cdot (3)^{2}}{6-3}$

$r = 27$

The average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval $[3,6]$ is 27.

b) The instantaneous rate of change can be determined by the following definition:

$y' = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{y(x+h)-y(x)}{h}$ (2)

Where:

$h$ - Change rate.

$y(x)$ , $y(x+h)$ - Function evaluated at $x$ and $x+h$ .

If we know that $x = 3$ and $y = 3\cdot x^{2}$ , then the instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ is:

$y' = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{3\cdot (x+h)^{2}-3\cdot x^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^{2}-x^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2\cdot h\cdot x +h^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 6\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} x +3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} h$

$y' = 6\cdot x$

$y' = 6\cdot (3)$

$y' = 18$

The instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ at the value $x = 3$ is 18.
