The average rate of change of a function f(x) on the interval [a,b] is given by:
f(b) - f(a)
-------------
b-a
In this specific case, a=2 and b = 3.
f(2) = -3 and f(3) = -1.
Thus, the average rate of change here of f(x) on the interval [2,3] is:
-1 - (- 3) 2
------------- = ------------- = 2 (answer)
3-2 1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
Answer:
It is a better deal to do the 6.50 for 12 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason is because the is 16 ounces in a pound so you would do 8.99/16 and you get .56 per ounce but is you do 6.50/12 you get .54 per ounce which is a better deal.
Hope this helped!!
The length would be 18 inches and the width would be 9 inches since the length is twice its width and to find perimeter you do length x 2 and width x 2 and add it together so 18x2 = 36 and 9x2 = 18. 36 + 18 = 54
