Answer:

D)2

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x)  = x²/4 - 5; 3 ≤ x ≤ 5

Calculate the values of f(3) and f(5)

f(3) = 3²/4 - 5 =    9/4 - 5 =  -2.75

f(5) = 5²/4 - 6 = 25/4 - 5  =   1.25

Calculate the average rate of change

Rate of change = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = [1.25 -(-2.75)]/(5 - 3) = 4.00/2

= 2.00

The average rate of change is 2.00.

In the figure below, the red curve represents the function ƒ(x), while the black dashed line represents the average rate of change over the interval (3, 5).

The value of ƒ(x) increases by two units for every unit that x increases.

Integers are sometimes natural numbers true or false and why?
STALIN [3.7K]
True. Integers are whole numbers both positive and negative.  Natural numbers are only whole positive numbers.  So it is true whenever you are dealing with positive integers and it is false when you are dealing with negative integers.

Helpp, since this question is a bit hard, ill give brainliest and 20 pts.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. When dealing with large numbers, sometimes it's easier to write them in a form of exponents of number ten. The value of the exponent shows how many times we multiply 10 by itself. That means that 10^3 is 10•10•10 or that 10^6 is 10•10•10•10•10•10.

So, when finding how many times on number is greater then the other, we need to divide them. We divide 8x10^6 by 2x10^5. It is done by dividing the numbers and subtracting the exponents; 8/2=4 and 10^6/10^5 is 10^6-5=10^1. So the correct answer is 4x10^1 which is 4x10, and that is 40.

B. Now, we have a total number of coins (2.25x10^5), and diametar of a coin (19mm = 19x10^-6km). Our task is to calculate the distance across which the coiks laid side-by-side would expand. We can find this by multiplying the number of coins with a diametar of single penny, 2.25x10^5•19x10^-6. Multiplying is done by multiplying the numbers (2.25x19=42.75) and adding the exponents (5+(-6)=5-6=-1). So, the distance is 42.75x10^-1km, which equals to 4.275 km. Obviously, this is less then the stated 5 km given in the text, so the reportet's statement is false.
