The average rate of change of f(x)=3x+9 is 9. true or false?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The rate of change is the slope.
f(x) is the same as y...
f(x) = 3x + 9.....y = 3x + 9....and in y = mx + b form, the rate of change(slope) can be found in the m position.

y = mx + b
y = 3x + 9....so the slope or rate of change is 3...not 9...so answer is false

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property:

$A.\\\\\dfrac{1}{5}(x-50)=\dfrac{1}{5}x-\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)(50)=\dfrac{1}{5}x-\dfrac{50}{5}=\dfrac{1}{5}x-10\\\\B.\\\\-\dfrac{1}{3}(3x+18)=\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)(3x)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)(18)=-\dfrac{3}{3}x-\dfrac{18}{3}=-x-6\\\\-x-6\neq\dfrac{1}{3}x-6$

$C.\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}(x+16)=\dfrac{1}{2}x+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)(16)=\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{16}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}x+8\\\\D.\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}(8x+8)=\left(\dfrac{1}{8}\right)(8x)+\left(\dfrac{1}{8}\right)(8)=\dfrac{8}{8}x+\dfrac{8}{8}=x+1\\\\x+1\neq\dfrac{1}{8}x+1\\\\E.\\\\-\dfrac{1}{4}(x+2)=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(2)=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1}{4\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_2}=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{2}\neq-\dfrac{1}{4}x+2$
