Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3a + 8 = 14

First you want to combine the constants by subtracting 8 from both sides.

-3a = 6

Now you want to isolate a by dividing both sides by -3.

a = -2

Check your answer by plugging -2 back into the equation.

-3(-2) + 8 = 14

6 + 8 = 14

14 = 14

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Use the following graph of the function f(x) = −3x4 − x3 + 3x2 + x + 3 to answer this question: What is the average rate of chan

Alinara [238K]

the average rate of change is just the slope from (0,f(0)) to (1,f(1))

find f(0) and f(1)

$f(0)=-3(0)^4-(0)^3+3(0)^2+0+3=3$

$f(1)=-3(1)^4-(1)^3+3(1)^2+1+3=-3-1+3+1+3=3$

slope from (0,3) to (1,3) is rise/run=(3-3)/(0-1)=0/-1

the average rate of change from x=0 to x=1 for f(x) is 0

In a group of 60 numbers, average of

Arada [10]

Answer:

c. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would find the total sum of the 60 numbers. The average is always the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers.

35*18=630

15*10=150

Now we do not know how many numbers the last group has. However, we can find it out doing 60-35-15 to see how many numbers are left. There would be 10 numbers left

10*30=300

630+150+300=1080

1080/60=18

Hence, the answer is C(18)
