Answer:

$\displaystyle -2$

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Brackets
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Left to Right

<u>Algebra I</u>

Average Rate of Change: $\displaystyle \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Interval -1 ≤ x ≤ 3

a = -1, b = 3

f(a) = f(-1) = 4

f(b) = f(3) = -4

<u>Step 2: Find Average</u>

Substitute in variables [ARC]: $\displaystyle \frac{f(3) - f(-1)}{3 + 1}$
Substitute: $\displaystyle \frac{-4 - 4}{3 + 1}$
[Fraction] Subtract/Add: $\displaystyle \frac{-8}{4}$
[Fraction] Divide: $\displaystyle -2$

irga5000 [103]

Answer: Seth is travelling at 63.047mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation: First convert 57.1 seconds to hours.

1 hour is equal to 3600s so multiply 57.1sec by 1hr/3600s to get 0.0158 hr

The formula for speed distance over time. v=d/t

v= 1mi/0.0158hr

v= 63.047mi/hr

What is negative 6x squared take away 586 =84x take away 4

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

This equation has no real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve

$- 6 {x}^{2} - 586 = 84x - 4$

We group all terms on the left:

$- 6 {x}^{2} - 84x - 586 + 4 = 0$

$- 6 {x}^{2} - 84x - 582= 0$

Divide through by -6

${x}^{2} + 14x + 97 = 0$

The discriminant is

${14}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 97 = - 192$

This means the given equation has no real solution, since the discriminant is less than 0
