Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b = -1 and a = -3
The average rate of change = 
f(b) = f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2
f(a) = f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 5 =27 - 5 = 22
f(b) - f(a) = -2 - 22 = -24
b - a = -1 + 3 = 2
= -24/2 = -12
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given this function for the height (h) after t seconds:

Seconds is t and we want to find the height after 1.5 seconds. Plug 1.5 in for t.

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
Solve the exponent first.

Multiply.


Add.

This is already rounded to the nearest tenth, so it is the answer.
After 1.5 seconds, the basketball is at a height of 7.5 feet.
Answer:
x = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
( x + 139 ) and 132 are vertically opposite angles.

x = 132 - 139
x = - 7
