Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Here [ a, b ] = [ 0, 2 ], thus

f(b) = f(2) = -(2)² + 4)(2) + 2 = - 4 + 8 + 2 = 6

f(a) = f(0) = 2

average rate of change = $\frac{6-2}{2-0}$ = $\frac{4}{2}$ = 2

When completing the square, what value must you add to both sides of the equation to create a perfect square trinomial?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Notice that half of the coefficient of x is (1/2)(-4), or -2.

Then x^2 - 4x becomes
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 = 0, or (x -2)^2 = 4. Then x = -2 plus or minus 2, and the two roots are 0 and -4.

Thus, add 4 to both sides to obtain x^2 - 4x + 4 = 4.

Is 7/12 bigger than 1/2

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Lets think of it this way:-

1/2 is one half

Whats half of 12? 6

Now, 7 is greater than 6, which means the fraction 7/12 is greater than 1/2

Answer: 7/12 is bigger

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 where a b and c are integers

Bas_tet [7]

You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the $x^2$ coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like $x^2+bx+c=0$ , then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

$b$ is the opposite of the sum of the roots
$c$ is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

$4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2$
$4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8$

So, the equation is $x^2-2x-8=0$

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

$\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}$
$\dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}$
