50 = 2 x 25 = 2 x 5 x 5 = 2 x 5^2
20 = 2 x 10 = 2 x 2 x 5 = 2^2 x 5
Average rate of change: r=[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
r=-60→[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)=-60
b=5; f(b)=-213; a=1; f(a)=27
(-213-27)/(5-1)=(-240)/4=-60
Answer: The <span>two points in the table which create an interval with an average rate of change of -60 are:
x f(x)
1 27
5 -213</span>
15. -(-7y + 12) = 7y - 12
16. 1/a = 16/18
cross multiply
16a = 18
a = 18/16 = 9/8
17. 8x - 12 = 4x + 24
8x - 4x = 24 + 12
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9
18. -6b > 42 4b > -4
b < 42/-6 b > -4/4
b < - 7 b > -1
so b < -7 and b > -1
19. 6 more then the product of 8 and n
6 + 8n
20. 45 = 3b + 69
45 - 69 = 3b
-24 = 3b
-24/3 = b
-8 = b
The sum is -20 have a great day
