What is the average rate of change of the function f(x) = 5x ^ 2 + 20x between x = 0 and x = 0.5
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change on the interval [a, b] is the ratio ...
(f(b) -f(x))/(b -a)
For your function and interval, it is ...
(f(0.5) -f(0))/(0.5 -0)
Since f(0) = 0, this reduces to ...
average rate of change = 2·f(0.5) = 2(5(0.5)² +20(0.5)) = 2(5/4 +10)
average rate of change = 22.5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, according to associative property of multiplication,
a(bc) = (ab)c,
Where a, b and c are any real numbers,
Here, the given expression,
2 × ( 5 × 1.5 ),
By applying the associative property of multiplication,
( 2 × 5 ) × 1.5,
Hence, the appropriate expression in the first box is '(2×5)'
And, the appropriate number in the second box is '1.5'.
