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.

Two points on L1 and two points on L2 are given. Use the slope formula to determine if lines L1 and L2 are parallel, perpendicul
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The lines L1 and L2 neither parallel nor perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to find a slope of a line

- If a line passes through points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2), then the slope

 of the line is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

- Parallel lines have same slopes

- Perpendicular lines have additive, multiplicative slopes

 ( the product of their slopes is -1)

* Lets solve the problem

∵ L1 passes through the point (1 , 10) and (-1 , 7)

- Let (1 , 10) is (x1 , y1) and (-1 , 7) is (x2 , y2)

∴ x1 = 1 , x2 = -1 and y1 = 10 , y2 = 7

∴ The slope of L1 is m1 = \frac{7-10}{-1-1}=\frac{-3}{-2}=\frac{3}{2}

∵ L2 passes through the point (0 , 3) and (1 , 5)

- Let (0 , 3) is (x1 , y1) and (1 , 5) is (x2 , y2)

∴ x1 = 0 , x2 = 1 and y1 = 3 , y2 = 5

∴ The slope of L2 is m2=\frac{5-3}{1-0}=\frac{2}{1}=2

∵ m1 = 3/2 and m2 = 2

- The two lines have different slopes and their product not equal -1

∴ The lines L1 and L2 neither parallel nor perpendicular

jerome tries to find the value of the expression 3-6+5 by first applying the communtative property. he rewrites the expression a
slega [8]

The commutative property is a property of <em>addition</em>, not of <em>subtraction</em>. It can work in a subtraction problem if you keep the sign with the number, so you're adding positive and negative numbers.

3 - 6 + 5

= (3) + (-6) + (5)

= (3) + (5) + (-6)

= 3 + 5 - 6
