Answer:

Last option (counting from the top)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given function f(x), the difference quotient is:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h} = \frac{1}{h}*(f(x + h) - f(x))

In this case, we have:

f(x) = \frac{8}{4x + 1}

Then the difference quotient will be:

\frac{1}{h}*( \frac{8}{4*(x + h) + 1} - \frac{8}{4x + 1})

Now we should get a common denominator.

We can do that by multiplying and dividing each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction, so we will get:

\frac{1}{h}*( \frac{8}{4*(x + h) + 1} - \frac{8}{4x + 1}) = \frac{1}{h}*(\frac{8*(4x + 1)}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)} - \frac{8*(4(x + h) + 1)}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)})

Now we can simplify that to get:

\frac{1}{h}*\frac{8*(4x + 1) - 8*(4(x + h) + 1)}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)}} =  \frac{1}{h}*\frac{-32h}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)}} = \frac{-32}{(4(x + h) +1 )*(4x + 1)}}

Then the correct option is the last one (counting from the top)

When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89

Answer:

<u>416 square centimeters</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for finding area of a trapezoid :

<u>A = 1/2 x (a + b) x h</u>

  1. a and b = parallel sides of the trapezoid
  2. h = height of the trapezoid

Solving :

  • A = 1/2 x (38 + 14) x 16
  • A = 8 x 52
  • A = <u>416 square centimeters</u>
