Explanation:
The given piecewise function is
At first piecewise functions may be strange confusing things, but they aren't so bad. I like to think of it like this: f(x) is a function that changes its identity based on what the input x is. We have three situations
- f(x) = -4x+3 when x < 3
- f(x) = -x^3 when
- f(x) = 3x^2+1 when x > 8
In a sense, we have three different functions but they are combined somehow.
If x is smaller than 3, then we go for the first definition. Or if x is between 3 and 8, then we go for the second definition. Or if x is larger than 8, then we go for the third definition.
-----------------------
f(-5) means f(x) when x = -5. We see that -5 is smaller than 3, so x = -5 makes x < 3 true. We'll use the first definition
f(x) = -4x+3
f(-5) = -4(-5)+3
f(-5) = 20+3
f(-5) = 23
------------------------
Now the input is x = 12. This is larger than 8. In other words, x = 12 makes x > 8 true. We'll use the third definition
f(x) = 3x^2+1
f(12) = 3(12)^2+1
f(12) = 3(144)+1
f(12) = 432+1
f(12) = 433
------------------------
Side notes:
- We won't use the second definition since we don't have any x inputs between 3 and 8
- To say "less than or equal to" on a keyboard, you can write "<=" without quotes. For example,
is the same as x<=5
Put 16 where n is, then do the arithmetic.
... a(16) = -6 + 3(16 -1)
... a(16) = -6 + 45
... a(16) = 39
Answer:
Horizontal distance = 0 m and 6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of a rider in a roller coaster has been defined by the equation,
y = 
Here x = rider's horizontal distance from the start of the ride
i). 
![=\frac{1}{3}[x^{2}-2(3x)+9-9+24]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Bx%5E%7B2%7D-2%283x%29%2B9-9%2B24%5D)
![=\frac{1}{3}[(x^{2}-2(3x)+9)+15]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5B%28x%5E%7B2%7D-2%283x%29%2B9%29%2B15%5D)
![=\frac{1}{3}[(x-3)^2+15]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5B%28x-3%29%5E2%2B15%5D)
ii). Since, the parabolic graph for the given equation opens upwards,
Vertex of the parabola will be the lowest point of the rider on the roller coaster.
From the equation,
Vertex → (3, 5)
Therefore, minimum height of the rider will be the y-coordinate of the vertex.
Minimum height of the rider = 5 m
iii). If h = 8 m,
(x - 3)² = 9
x = 3 ± 3
x = 0, 6 m
Therefore, at 8 m height of the roller coaster, horizontal distance of the rider will be x = 0 and 6 m
<span>The normal curve is described by a bell curved graph. The bell curved graph of a normal distribution depends on two factors: the mean and the standard deviation. The mean identifies the position of the center and the standard deviation determines the height and width of the bell.
Therefore, the factor that the width of the peak of the normal curve depends on is the standard deviation.</span>
By definition we have that the average rate of change is given by:
AVR = (f (x2) - f (x1)) / (x2 - x1)
Substituting the values we have:
AVR = (204 - (-6)) / (10 - 0)
Rewriting we have:
AVR = (204 + 6) / (10 - 0)
AVR = 210/10
AVR = 21
Answer:
the average rate of change for f (x) from x = 0 to x = 10 is:
AVR = 21
