X < -2
Just find the numbers that are less than -2.
-5, -2.6, -2, -1.5, -0.8, 1
With negative numbers, the numbers that seem 'bigger' than them are actually smaller.
So '-5' and '-2.6' are the only one's that are less than -2.
We can model the function between a and b as a linear function of negative slope because it is a short interval and the change is not very significant.
We have then that the average rate of change in that interval is:
m = (f (a) - f (b)) / (a-b)
Substituting the values:
m = (34.25 - 26) / (2.5-3.6)
m = -7.5
Negative, because the function decreases in that interval.
Answer:
a reasonable estimate of the average rate of change of the height of the rocket, in meters per second, between a and b seconds is:
m = -7.5 m / s
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
the quadratic formula work all the time because it is suitable for every equation.
Option C: (x+4) and (x-1) are the factors of the equation
Explanation:
Given that the equation is 
We need to determine the factors of the equation.
Splitting the middle term, we get,

Grouping the terms, we have,

Let us factor out the term (x+4), we have,

Thus, the factors of the equation are (x+4) and (x-1)
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
