Answer:
the first selection (see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change (m) on the interval [x1, x2] is given by ...
... m = (g(x2) -g(x1))/(x2 -x1)
For g(x) = -x²-4x and (x1, x2) = (6, 8), the expression is the one attached.
Recursive equation would be f(x+1) = f(x) - 25 with f(0) = 300
Explicit equation would be f(x) = -25x + 300
And graph would looks like this:
Unknown. C is the hypotenuse, but this problem is solvable.
We can use Pythagorean's Theorem in order to find the remaining side length
a^2+b^2=c^2
Let a be the shadow length
Let b be the height of the flagpole
Let c be the hypotenuse
28^2+b^2=35^2
784+b^2=1225
b^2=1225-784
b^2=441
b=√441
b=21
Therefore the flagpole is 21 meters tall.
Hope this helps!
