Average rate of change refers to the slope of a function/equation.
To solve this, plug in for both x values and calculate the average, or mean.
x = 1
f(1) = 5(2)^1
= 5(2)
= 10
x = 5
f(5) = 5(2)^5
= 5(32)
= 160
Now, you calculate the average:
10 + 160 = 170
Divide by 2 and you get 85.
I'm sure it's only 15 miles :)
Hope that helps
Lets say, for ease, that the vat can hold a total of 70 gallons (or whatever you would like to use.) Use whatever number you want, I just picked this because it gives us a lot of clean numbers.
Now, if the inlet can fill it in 7 hours, that means that it is adding 10 gallons per hour. (70 gal/7 hours = 10 gal/hr)
For the outlet, use the same process, and you find that it drains the vat at 7 gallons per hour.
So, if you subtract the outlet from the inlet, you get 10 - 7 = 3 gallons per hour added.
Now just divide the size of the vat by that number, and you find your answer.
70 gallons / 3 gallons per hour = 23 1/3 hours.

Answer:
13 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, then
x + 8 = 48 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )
8x + 8 = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
8x = 40 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 5
Then
leg = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13
