The average rate of change (AROC) of a function f(x) on an interval [a, b] is equal to the slope of the secant line to the graph of f(x) that passes through (a, f(a)) and (b, f(b)), a.k.a. the difference quotient given by
![f_{\mathrm{AROC}[a,b]} = \dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f_%7B%5Cmathrm%7BAROC%7D%5Ba%2Cb%5D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7Bf%28b%29-f%28a%29%7D%7Bb-a%7D)
So for f(x) = x² on [1, 5], the AROC of f is
![f_{\mathrm{AROC}[1,5]} = \dfrac{5^2-1^2}{5-1} = \dfrac{24}4 = \boxed{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f_%7B%5Cmathrm%7BAROC%7D%5B1%2C5%5D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B5%5E2-1%5E2%7D%7B5-1%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B24%7D4%20%3D%20%5Cboxed%7B6%7D)
Answer:
y= ab if a≠b
Step-by-step explanation:
y/a −b= y/b −a
multiply each side by ab to clear the fractions
ab(y/a −b) = ab( y/b −a)
distribute
ab * y/a - ab*b = ab * y/b - ab *a
b*y - ab^2 = ay -a^2 b
subtract ay on each side
by -ay -ab^2 = ay-ay -a^2b
by -ay -ab^2 =-a^2b
add ab^2 to each side
by-ay -ab^2 +ab^2 = ab^2 - a^2b
by-ay = ab^2 - a^2b
factor out the y on the left, factor out an ab on the right
y (b-a) = ab(b-a)
divide by (b-a)
y (b-a) /(b-a)= ab(b-a)/(b-a) b-a ≠0 or b≠a
y = ab
Answer:
cosA = √(21/25)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know
sin²(A) + cos²(A) = 1
Next, we know that sin(A) = 2/5. Plugging that into our equation, we get
(2/5)² + cos²A = 1
4/25 + cos²A = 1
subtract 4/25 from both sides to isolate cos²A
cos²A = 1 - 4/25 = 25/25-4/25 = 21/25
square root both sides to get
cosA = √(21/25)
We do not include -√(21/25) in our possible answer for cosA because this is in quadrant 1, so cosA must be positive.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>AP given</h3>
<h3>To find</h3>
<h3>Solution</h3>
Common difference
<u>Difference of first two</u>
- d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b
<u>Difference of second two</u>
<u>Difference of last two</u>
<u>Now comparing d:</u>
- -2b = ab - (a - b)
- ab - a = - 3b
- a(1 - b) = 3b
- a = 3b/(1 - b)
and
- a/b - ab = -2b
- a(1/b - b) = -2b
- a = 2b²/(b² - 1)
<u>Eliminating a:</u>
- 2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)
- 2b/(b+1) = -3
- 2b = -3b - 3
- 5b = - 3
- b = -3/5
<u>Finding a:</u>
- a = 3b/(1 - b) =
- 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) =
- -9/5*5/8 =
- -9/8
<u>So the first term is:</u>
- a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40
<u>Common difference:</u>
<u>The 6th term:</u>
- a₆ = a₁ + 5d =
- -69/40 + 5*6/5 =
- -69/40 + 240/40 =
- 171/40 = 4 11/40
Answer:
0.92 as a fraction is 23/25
Good luck, hope this helped!
