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.

1. an alloy contains zinc and copper in the ratio of 7:9 find weight of copper of it had 31.5 kgs of zinc.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question (1). An alloy contains zinc and copper in the ratio of 7 : 9.

If the weight of an alloy = x kgs

Then weight of copper = $\frac{9}{7+9}\times (x)$

= $\frac{9}{16}\times (x)$

And the weight of zinc = $\frac{7}{7+9}\times (x)$

= $\frac{7}{16}\times (x)$

If the weight of zinc = 31.5 kg

31.5 = $\frac{7}{16}\times (x)$

x = $\frac{16\times 31.5}{7}$

x = 72 kgs

Therefore, weight of copper = $\frac{9}{16}\times (72)$

= 40.5 kgs

2). i). 2 : 3 = $\frac{2}{3}$

4 : 5 = $\frac{4}{5}$

Now we will equalize the denominators of each fraction to compare the ratios.

$\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{5}{5}$ = $\frac{10}{15}$

$\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{12}{15}$

Since, $\frac{12}{15}>\frac{10}{15}$

Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3

ii). 11 : 19 = $\frac{11}{19}$

19 : 21 = $\frac{19}{21}$

By equalizing denominators of the given fractions,

$\frac{11}{19}\times \frac{21}{21}=\frac{231}{399}$

And $\frac{19}{21}\times \frac{19}{19}=\frac{361}{399}$

Since, $\frac{361}{399}>\frac{231}{399}$

Therefore, 19 : 21 > 11 : 19

iii). $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{1}$

$=\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{4}{1}$

= $\frac{4}{3}$

Now we equalize the denominators of the fractions,

$\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{6}$

And $\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{8}{6}$

Since $\frac{9}{6}>\frac{8}{6}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}>\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$ will be the answer.

IV). $1\frac{1}{5}:1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{6}{5}:\frac{4}{3}$

$=\frac{6}{5}\times \frac{3}{4}$

$=\frac{18}{20}$

$=\frac{9}{10}$

Similarly, $\frac{2}{5}:\frac{3}{2}=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{2}{3}$

$=\frac{4}{15}$

By equalizing the denominators,

$\frac{9}{10}\times \frac{30}{30}=\frac{270}{300}$

Similarly, $\frac{4}{15}\times \frac{20}{20}=\frac{80}{300}$

Since $\frac{270}{300}>\frac{80}{300}$

Therefore, $1\frac{1}{5}:1\frac{1}{3}>\frac{2}{5}:\frac{3}{2}$

V). If a : b = 6 : 5

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{6}{5}$

$=\frac{6}{5}\times \frac{2}{2}$

$=\frac{12}{10}$

And b : c = 10 : 9

$\frac{b}{c}=\frac{10}{9}$

Since a : b = 12 : 10

And b : c = 10 : 9

Since b = 10 is common in both the ratios,

Therefore, combined form of the ratios will be,

a : b : c = 12 : 10 : 9
