Answer:

The instantaneous rate of change of y with respect to x at the value x = 3 is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Geometrically speaking, the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval by definition of secant line:

r = \frac{y(b) -y(a)}{b-a} (1)

Where:

a, b - Lower and upper bounds of the interval.

y(a), y(b) - Function exaluated at lower and upper bounds of the interval.

If we know that y = 3\cdot x^{2}, a = 3 and b = 6, then the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval is:

r = \frac{3\cdot (6)^{2}-3\cdot (3)^{2}}{6-3}

r = 27

The average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval [3,6] is 27.

b) The instantaneous rate of change can be determined by the following definition:

y' =  \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{y(x+h)-y(x)}{h} (2)

Where:

h - Change rate.

y(x), y(x+h) - Function evaluated at x and x+h.

If we know that x = 3 and y = 3\cdot x^{2}, then the instantaneous rate of change of y with respect to x is:

y' =  \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{3\cdot (x+h)^{2}-3\cdot x^{2}}{h}

y' =  3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^{2}-x^{2}}{h}

y' = 3\cdot  \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2\cdot h\cdot x +h^{2}}{h}

y' = 6\cdot  \lim_{h \to 0} x +3\cdot  \lim_{h \to 0} h

y' = 6\cdot x

y' = 6\cdot (3)

y' = 18

The instantaneous rate of change of y with respect to x at the value x = 3 is 18.

A toy American Eskimo dog has a mean weight of 8 pounds with a standard deviation of 1 pound. Assuming the weights of toy Eskimo
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Option b) 6-10 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X, the weight of  toy American Eskimo dog has mean of 8 pounds with a standard deviation of 1 pound

For 95% of the dogs according to normal distribution would lie between 2 std deviations on either side of the mean.

i.e. lower bound= Mean- 2 std deviation = 8-2 =6

Upper bound = Mean +2 std dev = 8+2 =10

Hence range of weights would be

6-10 lbs

Option b is the answer

A small point deduction applies if a participation activity's question is not answered correctly the first time?
LiRa [457]

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no such deduction when a participation's questions are not answered correctly the first time. Whatever answer is given is part of the learning curve and ensures that the activity can be improved upon.

Had there been a small point deduction then there would be no opportunity to learn because there would be too much fear associated with the wrong answer.
