Answer:
c. g(x) = 4x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
From a first glance, since g(x), is skinnier than f(x), meaning that it is increasing faster, so I know that I can eliminate options A & B since the coefficient on x needs to be greater than 1.
We can then look and see that g(1) = 4 as shown by the point given to us on the graph.
To find the right answer we can find g(1) for options C & D and whichever one matches the point on the graph is our correct answer. e
Option C:
once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like
4(1)^2.
1^2 = 1, and 4(1) = 4,
so g(1) = 4. and our point is (1,4).
This is the same as the graph so this is the CORRECT answer.
If you want to double check, you can still find g(1) for option D and verify that it is the WRONG answer.
Option D:
once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like
16(1)^2
1^2 = 1, and 16(1) = 16,
so g(1) = 16. and our point is (1,16).
This is different than the graph so this is the WRONG answer.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change from x=1 to x=2 is the same as finding the slope of a line at x=1 and x=2.
So we are going to need to corresponding y coordinates.
What y corresponds to x=1? y=3
What y corresponds to x=2? y=5
So we have the ordered pairs (1,3) and (2,5).
Line the points up vertically and subtract vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.
(2 , 5)
-(1 , 3)
-----------
1 2
The average rate of change is 2/1 or just 2.
Now since we were asked to find the average rate of change given the function was a line, it really didn't matter what two points you used on that line.
