Step-by-step explanation:
the average rate of change of a function f in an interval [x-low, x-high] is
(f(x-high) - f(x-low)) / (x-high - x-low)
the year 2000 means t = 2000-1980 = 20
the year 2015 means t = 2015-1980 = 35
so, we have
(A(35) - A(20)) / (35 - 20)
((-0.6(35)² + 37.2×35 + 243) - (-0.6(20)² + 37.2×20 + 243)) / 15
((-735 + 1302 + 243) - (-240 + 744 + 243)) / 15
(810 - 747) / 15 = 63/15 = 4.2
the average change rate between 2000 and 2015 is 4.2.
that means that the use of nuclear energy in the USA increased by 4.2 billions of kilowatt hours per year during that period.
Answer:
x = - 2 or x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
The x- intercepts are at x = - 2, x = 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The compound interest formula is equal to
where
A is the Final Investment Value
P is the Principal amount of money to be invested
r is the rate of interest in decimal
t is Number of Time Periods
n is the number of times interest is compounded per year
in this problem we have
substitute in the formula above
