Answer
Choice D
Company 2 is greater in avg rate of change by $750
=======================================
Explanation:
Average rate of change is the same as slope through two points. The two points are the endpoints of the interval.
The x values we'll use is x = 0 and x = 12 since it constitutes the first 12 years (12-0 = 12)
For company 1, if x = 0 and x = 12, then y = 12000 and y = 30000 respectively. The two points (0,12000) and (12,30000) are on the graph for company 1
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (30000-12000)/(12-0)
m = 18000/12
m = 1500
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 1 is 1500
For company 2, the points (0,15000) and (12,42000) are on the graph
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (42000-15000)/(12-0)
m = (27000)/(12)
m = 2250
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 2 is 2250
Now find the difference in the slopes
2250-1500 = 750
Company 2's rate of change is larger by $750
So that's why the answer is choice D. Over this timespan, company 2 is growing faster on average compared to company 1
Answer:
B. ∆LMN ≅ ∆OPQ because of ASA
Step-by-step explanation:
Two triangles are congruent if two angles and an included side of one triangle are congruent to two corresponding angles and a corresponding included side of the other.
From the information given, we have:
Two angles (<L and <M) in ∆LMN that are congruent to two corresponding angles (<O and <P) in ∆OPQ.
Also, included side in both triangles are congruent (ML ≅ PO).
Therefore, ∆LMN ≅ ∆OPQ by the ASA Theorem.
Answer: the answer is $170.00
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the first integer, then x+1 is the second. x(x+1)=132 or x^2+x-132=0. This factors as (x-11)(x+12)=0. Thus either x=11 or x=-12
<span>So either 11 and 12 or -12 and -11 will do.</span>
