The average rate of change of <em>g(x)</em> over the interval [2, 8] is given by
(<em>g</em> (8) - <em>g</em> (2)) / (8 - 2)
In other words, it's the slope of the line through the points (2, <em>g</em> (2)) and (8, <em>g</em> (8)).
Use the definition of the function to evaluate it at the points in the numerator:
• 8 ≥ 4, so using the second piece, <em>g</em> (8) = -0.5(8) + 8 = 4
• 2 < 4, so <em>g</em> (2) = 5(2) + 1 = 11
Then the average rate of change is
(<em>g</em> (8) - <em>g</em> (2)) / (8 - 2) = (4 - 11) / 6 = -7/6
24 miles is 1 gallon so 360 miles is 15 gallons + 24 is 384 miles so they are not equivalent!
Answer:
=204.13 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the side x, we can use sine to find the hypotenuse of the triangle with the angle marked 30°.
Sin 30 =x/hypotenuse.
sin 30 = 27/hyp
hyp= 27/sin 30
=54 inches
We can also find the adjacent as follows.
Cos 30 = adjacent/ 54
Adjacent= 54 cos 30
=46.77 inches
Using the angles marked 45 we can find the hypotenuse of the isosceles triangle.
sin 45= x/hypotenuse
sin 45 =27/hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 27/sin 45
=38.18 inches
The hypotenuse of both the triangles making the isosceles triangle are 38.18 inches long.
Perimeter = 54+ 46.77+27+ 38.18+38.18
=204.13 inches.
Answer:
C. 0.314.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 is rational. The answer is another rational number.
The only rational number in the list is 0.314.
3x - 15 = 105
3x = 120
x = 40
3(40) - 15 + y + 24 = 180
120 - 15 + y + 24 = 180
129 + y = 180
y = 51
