Answer:

$x = 24\ degrees$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

16 degrees = 10 hours

Required

Determine the change over 16 hours

Let the change be represented with x,

So, we have:

16 degrees = 10 hours

x = 15 hours

Cross Multiply:

$x * 10\ hours = 16\ degrees * 15\ hours$

$x * 10 = 16\ degrees * 15$

Divide through by 10

$x = \frac{16\ degrees * 15}{10}$

$x = 16\ degrees * 1.5$

$x = 24\ degrees$

Average Rate of Change: $\displaystyle \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Interval -1 ≤ x ≤ 3

a = -1, b = 3

f(a) = f(-1) = 4

f(b) = f(3) = -4

<u>Step 2: Find Average</u>

Substitute in variables [ARC]: $\displaystyle \frac{f(3) - f(-1)}{3 + 1}$

Do you agree with the statement that " cubic functions must have at least 1 x-intercept but not more than 3, whereas quadratic f

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Yes, I agree

Step-by-step explanation:

For the cubic function

A cubic function is represented as:

$f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$

A cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3 x intercepts. This is shown below

For 3 x intercepts

$y = x^3 - x$

Equate y to 0

$x^3 - x = 0$

Expand

$x(x^2 - 1) = 0$

Express $x^2 - 1$ as difference of two squares

$x(x - 1)(x +1 ) = 0$

<em>x = 0 or 1 or -1</em>

For 2 x intercepts

$y = x^3 - x$

$y =(x-5)^2)(x+7)$

Equate y to 0

$(x-5)^2(x+7) = 0$

Expand

$(x-5)(x-5)(x+7) = 0$

<em>x= 5 or x = -7</em>

For 1 x intercept

$y = x^3$

Equate y to 0

$x^3 = 0$

Take cube roots of both sides

$x = 0$

It has been shown above that a cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3.

So, I agree to the statement

For the quadratic function

A quadratic function will not have any x intercept when the function can not be factorized;

E.g.

$y = x^2 + x + 17$

<em>The above function has no x intercept.</em>

A quadratic function will have at least 1 x intercept when the function can be factorized;

E.g.

$y = x^2- 6x + 9$

Equate y to 0

$x^2- 6x + 9 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 3)(x-3) = 0$

$x = 3$

We've shown that a quadratic may have no x intercept, and it may also have x intercept(s)

Hence, I agree to both statement
