The second equation because they all have a common factor of 3. You can get x by itself. However, with the first one, you'll end up with fractions instead.
Answer:
if f(x) = 3x+4, the rate of change is 4.
if f(x) = 2x+7, the rate of change is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the average rate of change over the interval x=0 to x=8 is:
(f(x2) - f(x1))/x2-x1
Where:
x2 = 8
x1 = 0
if f(x) = 3x+4
so f(8)=3(8)+4 = 28
f(0)=3(0)+4 = 4
Then: (f(x2) - f(x1))/x2-x1 = (28 - 4)/8-0 = 24/8 = 3
On the other hand, if f(x) = 2x+7
f(8) = 2(8)+7 = 23
f(0) = 2(0)+7 = 7
Then: (f(x2) - f(x1))/x2-x1 = Then: 23 - 7/8-0 = 16/8 = 2
<span>[ (1 / 36) - (1 / x²) ] / [ (1 / 6) + (1 / x) ]
[ (x² - 36) / 36x² ] / [ (x + 6) / 6x ]
</span>remember that<span>:
x² - 36 = (x + 6)(x - 6)
so
[ (x+6)(x-6) / 36x² ] / [ (x + 6) / 6x ]
[ (x+6)(x-6) / 36x² ] * [ 6x / (x + 6) ]
6x / 36x² = 1 / 6x
[ (x+6)(x-6) / 6x ] * [ 1 / (x+6) ] -------------------- > </span>(x - 6) / 6x<span>
The answer is </span>(x - 6) / 6x<span>

someone hurry i also need help on this question!
