Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is synonymous to the slope of a function.

We want to find the average rate of change for the function:

f(x)=-2x^2-3x-8

For the interval [3, 4]

So, we simply have to calculate the values of the function at the endpoints and then find the slope between them.

Our endpoint values are x=3 and x=4. So:

\begin{aligned} f(3)&=-2(3)^2-3(3)-8 \\ f(3)&=-18-9-8 \\ f(3)&=-35\end{aligned}

And:

\begin{aligned} f(4)&=-2(4)^2-3(4)-8 \\ f(4)&=-32-12-8 \\f(4)&=-52\end{aligned}

So, we have the two points (3, -35) and (4, -52).

Now, we can use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Calculate the slope:

m=\frac{-52-(-35)}{4-3}=-17/1=-17

Hence, the slope or the average rate of change for our function for the interval [3, 4] is -17.

A bowl has only red, green, and purple grapes. The probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picki
Xelga [282]

The probability of picking a green grape is 1/2.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is the occurence of likely events. It is the area of mathematics that deals with numerical estimates of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1.

Since the probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picking a green grape out of the bowl is 1/8 and probability of picking just a red grape is 1/4 .

The probability of green grape will be the division. This will be:

= P(R and G) / P(R)

= 1/8 ÷ 1/4

= 1/8 × 4/1

= 1/2

The probability is 1/2.

Lara has three cats: Socks, Princess, and Luna. The ratio of Sock's weight to Princess's weight is 4:5. The ratio of Princess's
romanna [79]
A = Sock's weight
b = Princess' weight
c = Luna's weight

a : b = 4 : 5
b : c = 6 : 7

at this point, we have to change the 2 ratios (a : b and b : c) into one ratio (a : b : c)
to do that, we have to change the ratio number so the number b in both ratio is the same

a : b = 4 : 5 = 24 : 30
b : c = 6 : 7 = 30 : 35
From that we can conclude that
a : b : c = 24 : 30 : 35

Since we're looking for the ratio of Sock's weight to Luna's weight, it will be
a : c = 24 : 35
