Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the geometric mean of the segment lengths.

y = √(4·1)

y = 2

_____

You can also get there by considering the similarity of the triangles:

short side / long side = y/4 = 1/y

y^2 = 4 . . . . . . . multiply by 4y\

y = √4 = 2 . . . . take the square root

Place the three functions in order from the fastest decreasing average rate of change to the slowest decreasing average rate of

victus00 [196]

Answer:

g(x), f(x) and h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Interval: (0,3)

See attachment for functions f(x), g(x) and h(x)

Required

Order from fastest to slowest decreasing average rate of change

The average rate of change is calculated as:

$Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

In this case:

$(a,b) = (0,3)$

i.e.

$a = 0\\b=3$

For f(x)

$f(x) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^x$

$Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3}$

Calculate f(3) and f(0)

$f(x) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^x$

$f(3) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^3 = 16 * \frac{1}{8} = 2$

$f(0) = 16(\frac{1}{2})^0 = 16 * 1 = 16$

So:

$Rate = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3}$

$Rate = \frac{2 - 16}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{14}{3}$

For g(x)

$Rate = \frac{g(b) - g(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{g(3) - g(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{g(3) - g(0)}{3}$

From the table of g(x)

$g(3) = 1$

$g(1) = 27$

So:

$Rate = \frac{1 - 27}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{26}{3}$

For h(x)

$Rate = \frac{h(b) - h(a)}{b - a}$

$Rate = \frac{h(3) - h(0)}{3 - 0}$

$Rate = \frac{h(3) - h(0)}{3}$

From the graph of h(x)

$h(3) = -3$

$h(0) = 4$

So:

$Rate = \frac{-3 - 4}{3}$

$Rate = -\frac{7}{3}$

So, the calculated rates of change are:

$f(x) = -\frac{14}{3}$ $= -4.67$

$g(x) = -\frac{26}{3}$ $=-8.67$

$h(x) = -\frac{7}{3}$ $=-2.33$

By comparison:

From the fastest decreasing to slowest, the order is: <em>g(x), f(x) and h(x)</em>
