Answers:
The formula is [f(-1)-f(-4)]/[3]
The value of f(-1) is 3
The value of f(-4) is -3
The average rate of change is 2
==============================================
Explanation:
For the first blank, we use the formula
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]
where 'a' and 'b' are the endpoints for the x interval
In this case, a = -4 and b = -1. When you plug those values into the formula above, you get...
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ -1 - (-4) ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ -1+4 ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
which is why the answer is choice C for the first blank
-------------------------------------------
To compute the value of f(-1), we draw a vertical line through -1 on the x axis. This vertical line crosses the diagonal function graph at the point (-1,3). The y value of this point is what we want. Plugging in x = -1 leads to y = 3. This is why f(-1) = 3
If you want, you can draw a horizontal line through (-1,3) and you'll see it touching 3 on the y axis.
-------------------------------------------
Follow similar steps as above to compute f(-4). Draw a vertical line through x = -4 on the x axis. Mark the point where the vertical line crosses the diagonal line. This point is (-4,-3). Optionally draw a horizontal line over til you hit the y axis and you'll find that y = -3 corresponds to x = -4
This is why f(-4) = -3
-------------------------------------------
We'll use the last three sections to compute the average rate of change. Everything combines together building up to this moment.
From the first part, we had the formula
[ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
We can replace the "f(-1)" with 3 since we found that f(-1) = 3
Similarly, f(-4) = -3 so we can replace the "f(-4)" with -3
Doing those replacements and simplifying leads to...
[ f(-1) - f(-4)]/[ 3 ]
[ 3 - (-3)]/[ 3 ]
[ 3 + 3]/[ 3 ]
6/3
2
So the average rate of change is 2
Note: because the entire graph is a straight line, the average rate of change for any interval a < x < b is going to be equal to the slope m. In this case, the slope of the line is m = 2/1 = 2. We move up 2 units each time we move to the right 1 unit along the diagonal line.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula
A=wl
Solving for l
1=a/w=24/2=12
so, no breaks on the denominator thus, the LCD will be all three then.
![\bf \cfrac{3}{x-2}+\cfrac{4}{x-1}-\cfrac{1}{x}\implies \cfrac{[3x(x-1)]+[4x(x-2)]-[(x-2)(x-1)]}{x(x-2)(x-1)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{[3x^2-3x]+[4x^2-8x]-[x^2-3x+2]}{x(x-2)(x-1)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{3x^2-3x+4x^2-8x-x^2+3x-2}{x(x-2)(x-1)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{6x^2-8x-2}{x(x-2)(x-1)}\implies \cfrac{2(x^2-4x-1)}{x(x-2)(x-1)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7Bx-2%7D%2B%5Ccfrac%7B4%7D%7Bx-1%7D-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B%5B3x%28x-1%29%5D%2B%5B4x%28x-2%29%5D-%5B%28x-2%29%28x-1%29%5D%7D%7Bx%28x-2%29%28x-1%29%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7B%5B3x%5E2-3x%5D%2B%5B4x%5E2-8x%5D-%5Bx%5E2-3x%2B2%5D%7D%7Bx%28x-2%29%28x-1%29%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7B3x%5E2-3x%2B4x%5E2-8x-x%5E2%2B3x-2%7D%7Bx%28x-2%29%28x-1%29%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7B6x%5E2-8x-2%7D%7Bx%28x-2%29%28x-1%29%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B2%28x%5E2-4x-1%29%7D%7Bx%28x-2%29%28x-1%29%7D)
Answer:
A. 58, 13,-35,-51
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the greatest positive number, 58. Then use the next greatest positive number, 13. When it comes to negative numbers, the number with the smaller absolute value is greater.
|-35| = 35
|-53| = 53
-35 has a smaller absolute value than -53, so -35 is greater than -53.
Answer: A. 58, 13,-35,-51
