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.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (-4,1).
kozerog [31]

The formula for slope is \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

In this case:

y_{2} = 1\\ y_{1} }= -3\\x_{2} = -4\\x_{1} = 0

so...

\frac{1 - (-3)}{-4 - 0}

\frac{4}{-4}

-1 <<<The slope

Hope this helped!

Determine the answer to 3 + (-5) and explain the steps using a number line
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 - 5 = -2

Place the dot on -2 on the number line that is on your problem as the answer. To show the steps on the number line, use your jumps to go back. For example, your starting point will be on 3, and then use your jumps to go back by 5; that means you go into the negatives. For this case, it is -2.

Answer:

Coordinates of point B are (10,-4)

Coordinates of point D are (3.6,-0.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Point C(3.6, -0.4) divides in the ratio 3 : 2. If the coordinates of A are (-6, 5), the coordinates of point B are ____

Let the coordinates of B be (x_2,y_2)

Coordinates of A =(x_1,y_1)=(-6,5)

Coordinates of C=(x,y)=(3.6,-0.4)

We will use section formula over here

x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} , y = \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}

m:n=3:2

3.6=\frac{3x_2+2(-6)}{3+2} , -0.4=\frac{3y_2+2(5)}{3+2}3.6 \times 5 = 3x_2-12, -0.4 \times 5 = 3y_2+10\\18+12=3x_2 , -2=3y_2+10\\30=3x_2 , -12=3y_2\\10=x_2, -4=y_2\\

Coordinates of B = (10,-4)

2)If point D divides in the ratio 4 : 5, the coordinates of point D are ____

(fraction)

Let the coordinates of D be (x,y)

Coordinates of A =(x_1,y_1)=(-6,5)

Coordinates of B=(x_2,y_2)=(10,-4)

We will use section formula over here

x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} , y = \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}

m:n=3:2

x=\frac{3(10)+2(-6)}{3+2} , y=\frac{3(-4)+2(5)}{3+2}\\x=3.6,y=-0.4

Coordinates of point B are (10,-4)

Coordinates of point D are (3.6,-0.4)

Exercise 1.A committee of five people is chosen randomly from four men and six women. Find the probability that:a) Exactly four
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer with explanation:

Given : Number of men = 4

Number of women = 6

Total people = 6+4=10

Total number of ways to make a committee of five people from 10 persons :-

^{10}C_{4}=\dfrac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}=210

a) Number of ways to make committee that has exactly four women :

^6C_4\times ^4C_1=\dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}\times4=60

The  probability that committee has exactly four women :

\dfrac{60}{210}=\dfrac{2}{7}

b) Number of ways to make committee that has at-least four women :

^6C_4\times ^4C_1+^6C_5=\dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}\times4+6=66

The probability that committee at-least four women :

\dfrac{66}{210}=\dfrac{22}{70}

c) Number of ways that committee has more than 4 women :-

^6C_5\times^4C_0=6

The probability that committee has more than 4 women :-

\dfrac{6}{210}

Now, the  probability that committee has at most four women :-

1-\dfrac{6}{210}=\dfrac{204}{210}=\dfrac{102}{105}
