Answer:
the answer would beeeee 8
It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is defined as
f(x2) - f(x1)
--------------------
x2-x1
x2 = 6
f(6) = x^2 – 3x – 10 = 6^2 -3*6 -10 = 36 - 18-10=8
x1 = 4
f(4) = x^2 – 3x – 10 = 4^2 -3*4 -10 = 16 - 12-10=-6
Substitute the values into the expression
8 - -6
--------------------
6-4
8+6
------------
2
14/2= 7
