Answer: choice D) 20
-------------------------------
Explanation:
Locate 3 on the x axis number line. Draw a vertical line through 3 and this vertical line will cross the parabola at some point P. Mark this point P on the parabola. Then draw a horizontal line from P to the y axis. The horizontal line will land on y = 10. In short, this all shows us that (3,10) is a point on this parabola.
Repeat those steps above, but now for x = 7. You'll see that (7,90) is another point on this parabola.
We need to find the slope of the line through the two points (3,10) and (7,90). The average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 7 is the same as the slope of the line through those two points.
To find the slope, we use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points, and m is the slope
In this case,
(x1,y1) = (3,10) and (x2,y2) = (7,90)
further breaking down to
x1=3
y1=10
x2=7
y2=90
So we'll plug those four pieces of info into the equation and simplifying to get...
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (90 - 10)/(7 - 3)
m = 80/4
m = 20
The slope of the line is 20, so therefore, the average rate of change is 20.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
a²+b²=c²
In this case c is 13 and b is 12
a²+12²=13³
a²+144=169
Subtract 169 and 144 to find a
169-144=25
The square root of 25 is 5
206 X .4 = 82.4
That's the answer.
To solve this, you just simply divide to get a decimal and then convert to a percentage.
2.5 divided by 9.2 is equal to approximately 0.2717.
You then multiply that by one hundred to get a percentage. So the final answer is approximately 27.17%.
Answer: x < 10
Step-by-step explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations, in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this case is 6x by adding 5 to both sides.
That leaves you with 6x < 60 and now just divide both sides by 2 and x < 10.
Notice that because we divide both sides of the inequality
by a positive number, not a negative, we did not change the
direction of the inequality sign.
Finally, put your answer in set notation, {x: x < 10}.
Unlike an equation which normally has one solution, the answer to an inequality must be stated as a solution set because an entire set of answers will work. In this problem, it's any number less than 10.
