For a linear function, the instantaneous rate of change is everywhere equal to the slope. Thus the rate of change of the function h(x)=2x on the interval 2≤x≤4
The rate of change of the function given will equal to its slope, thus;
slope,m=(y-1-y)/(x_1-x)
=(2*4-2*2)/(4-2)
=(8-4)/2
=4/2
=2
the answer is 2
9.80 / 20 = 0.49. Justin payed $0.49 per pound. :P
Answer:
There are two ways to do this problem algebraically or trigonometrically.
Algebraically/geometrically
The ratios of the sides of a 30/60/90 tri. are x, x√3, 2x (short leg, long leg, hyp). Therefore, if the long leg is 6 'units'. then 6 = x√3. x = 6√3.
The hyp is 2x then the hypotenuse is 2(6√3) = 12√3, rationalizing is 12√3/3 = 4√3
Using Trig.
We can use sinx = y/r = opp/hyp. The long leg of 6 is opposite 60 degrees (pi/3).
Therefore, sin(pi/3) = 6/r =
r = 6/sin(pi/3) = 6/(√3/2) = 12/√3, when you rationalize you get 12√3/3 = 4√3
