Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of a function, f(x), on interval [a,b] is (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a).
So the avereage rate of change of a function, f(x)=x^2+5x+1, on [-9,-2] is
(f(-2)-f(-9))/(-2--9)
(f(-2)-f(-9))/(7)
Stop!
To find f(-2), you replace x in f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 1, with (-2) giving you f(-2)=(-2)^2+5(-2)+1=4-10+1=-6+1=-5.
To find f(-9), you replace x in f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 1, with (-9) giving you f(-2)=(-9)^2+5(-9)+1=81-45+1=36+1=37.
Continue!
(f(-2)-f(-9))/(7)
=(-5-37)/7
=(-42)/7
=-42/7
=-6
Answer:
A plane shape with four straight sides and four right angles for corners is called a rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Pair 1 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $600/20% = $3,000.
Pair 2 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $1200/10% = $12,000.
Both pairs can be true if Jeff's monthly income increased by a factor of 4 in the 20 years from 1990 to 2010.
Obviously, Jeff spent more on housing in 2010. (Fortunately for Jeff, that larger expenditure was a smaller fraction of his income.)
