Answer:

$4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $f(x)=4x-2$

To find: average rate of change of the function $f(x)=4x-2$ over the interval $x=-1$ and $x=2$

Solution:

Take $a=-1,\,b=2$

Find $f(a),\,f(b)$

$f(a)=f(-1)\\=4(-1)-2\\=-4-2\\=-6\\\\f(b)=f(2)\\=4(2)-2\\=8-2\\=6$

Average rate of change of the function $=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

$=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{2-(-1)}\\\\=\frac{6-(-6)}{3} \\\\=\frac{12}{3}\\\\=4$

the graph of the function f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c (where a, b, and c are real and non zero) has two x- intercepts. explain how to f

Dovator [93]

The vertex of the parabola is given by :

$\displaystyle{ ( \frac{-b}{2a}, f(\frac{-b}{2a}) )$ .

So, $\displaystyle{ \frac{-b}{2a}$ is the first coordinate of the vertex, which means it is also the point where the line of symmetry passes.

The line of symmetry divides the parabola into 2 symmetrical parts: the x-intercepts are also symmetrical to each other with respect to this line.

So, if one of the x-intercepts is $\displaystyle{ (\frac{-b}{2a}+3, 0)$ , that is 3 units to the right of the x-intercept, the other must be 3 units to the left. Thus, the second x-intercept is :

Answer: $\displaystyle{ (\frac{-b}{2a}-3, 0)$ ,

Please helpppppp In exercises 3-6, events A and B are disjoint. Find P(A or B).

Problem 3

Disjoint events are two (or more) events that cannot happen at the same time. An example would be flipping heads and tails at the same time with the same coin. Another example is selecting an ace of spades and selecting an ace of diamonds, when you only select one card.

In general notation, P(A and B) = 0 if and only if A and B are disjoint.

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 0.3 + 0.1 - 0

=========================================

Problem 5

Same idea, but different numbers

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 1/3 + 1/4 - 0

P(A or B) = 4/12 + 3/12 - 0

Answer:

a = √10

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

a² + 9² = (√91)²

a² + 81 = 91

a² = 10

a = √10
