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.

Answer:

3^7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 3^8=3\cdot3^7and since it's multiplied by \frac{1}{3} which is the same thing as \frac{1}{3}^1we know that 3\cdot\frac{1}{3}\cdot3^7=3^7.

A Triangle has an area of 36cm^2. The base and height are scaled by a factor of 5. What is the area of the resulting triangle?
Finger [1]

Answer:

Area of resulting triangle  will be 900 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When sides of  any polygon if scaled by a factor of k

then area is scaled by k^2

According to the above statement

therefore  here in the question since area of original triangle was 36cm^2

and both  base and height are scaled by a factor of 5.

therefore area of scaled triangle will be 5^2 times of the original

that is 25 x 36 which gives 900 cm^2

So area of resulting triangle will be 900 cm^2

Answer:

3 * 10^3 in scientific notation.

3,000 in standard notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We divide:

3.9 *10^5 / 1.3 * 10^2

= ( 3.9/1.3) * (10^5 / 10^2)

= 3 * 10(5-2)

= 3 * 10^3.

This  equals 3 * 1,000 = 3000.
