Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
plug in: (6)(4) - (4)
solve: 24 - 4 = 20
Answer: h(x) = 3*x^2 - 7*x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change of a function is equal to the derivate:
remember that a derivate of the form:
k(x) = a*x^n is k'(x) = n*a*x^(n-1)
Then we have:
f(x) = 2*x - 10
f'(x) = 1*2* = 2
g(x) = 16*x - 4
g'(x) = 1*16 = 16
h(x) = 3*x^2 - 7*x + 8
h'(x) = 2*3*x - 1*7 = 6*x - 7
So the only that increases as x increases is h(x), this means that the greates rate of change as x approaches inffinity is the rate of change of h(x)
Let

. Then

Meanwhile, since

, you have

.
It follows that

,

, and

, so that the quadratic fit for

that satisfies the given points is

Note that this is just the second-order Taylor polynomial for

about

.
