Answer:

The average rate of change = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

$f\left(x\right)\:=\:2x^2\:-\:4$

x₁=-2, x₂=4

f(x₁) = f(-2) = 2x²-4 = 2(-2)²-4 = 8-4 = 4

f(x₂) = f(4) = 2x²-4 = 2(4)²-4 = 32-4 = 28

The average rate of change = f(x₂) - f(x₁) / x₂ - x₁

= (28-4)/(4-(-2))

= 24/6

= 4

Thus, the average rate of change = 4

So (positive integer)-x-y can be negative
so to get a negative number as your result/answer, x+y must be greater than (positve integer) so for example

lets say (positive integer)=8
x+y must be greater than 8 to make the equation negative so
example
x=5
y=4
x+y=9
8-9=-1

In 22, you're looking for the vertical height of the triangle. You're given the angle opposite the side you want to find (which I'll call $x$ ) and the length of the hypotenuse. This sets you up with the relation

$\sin2^\circ=\dfrac x{1600}\implies x\approx55.84\text{ m}$

In 23, you're given a similar situation, except now you're looking for the angle (I'll call it $\theta$ ) in the triangle opposite the side denoting the height of the airplane. So this time,

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{1500}{5000}=\dfrac3{10}\implies\theta=\arcsin\dfrac3{10}\approx17.46^\circ$
