Part A:
The average rate of change refers to a function's slope. Thus, we are going to need to use the slope formula, which is:
and 
are points on the function
You can see that we are given the x-values for our interval, but we are not given the y-values, which means that we will need to find them ourselves. Remember that the y-values of functions refers to the outputs of the function, so to find the y-values simply use your given x-value in the function and observe the result:
Now, let's find the slopes for each of the sections of the function:
<u>Section A</u>
<u>Section B</u>
Part B:
In this case, we can find how many times greater the rate of change in Section B is by dividing the slopes together.
It is 25 times greater. This is because 
is an exponential growth function, which grows faster and faster as the x-values get higher and higher. This is unlike a linear function which grows or declines at a constant rate.
Again using the Pythagorean Theorem:
h^2=x^2+y^2, where h is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and x and y are the side lengths. You are given that the hypotenuse is 34 ft and the base side is 16ft. Let h=34, x=16, and y=height, then you have:
34^2=16^2+y^2
y^2=34^2-16^2
y^2=1156-256
y^2=900
y=√900
y=30 ft
So the ladder will reach a spot 30 feet high on the building.
Answer:
-17
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x)=-1
Answer:
x + y = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line's slope will be -1.
Plug this slope and the given point into y = mx + b to find b:
y = mx + b
4 = -1(10) + b
4 = -10 + b
14 = b
Then, plug this and the slope into y = mx + b
y = -x + 14
Then, put this into standard form by moving the x to the other side:
x + y = 14 is the equation in standard form
