Calculate the average rate of change of f(x)=x²-1/x-4 for 2≤x≤6.

Mathematics

DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

3/140 or 0.0214

Step-by-step explanation:

[f(2) - f(6)] / 2-6

f(2) = -3/2

f(6) = 35/2

-3/2 ÷ 35/2 = -3/2 × 2/35

= -6/70 or -3/35 (simplified)

-3/35 ÷ -4  =  -3/35 × -1/4

= 3/140

Park two has 12 more benches than Park one. If 2 benches were transferred from Park two to Park one, then Park two would have 2
marta [7]

Answer:

There were 6 benches in park 1 and 18 benches in park 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no of benches in Park 1 and y in park 2.

Given that there are 12 more benches in park 2 than 1

Writing this in equation form, we have y = x+12 ... i

Next is if 2 benches were transferred from park 2 to park 1, then we have

x+2 in park 1 and y-2 in park 2.

Given that y-2 = twice that of x+2

Or y-2 = 2x+4 ... ii

Rewrite by adding 2 to both sides of equation ii.

y = 2x+6 ... iii

i-iii gives 0 = -x+6

Or x =6

Substitute in i, to have y = 6+12 = 18

Verify:

Original benches 6 and 18.

18 = 6+12 hence I condition is satisfied

18-2 = 2(6+2)

II is also satisfied.

In a room, there are 450 students of which 20% are girls. A group of students have mobile phones with them, of which 40% are gir
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

216 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

450 students: 20% girls, 80% boys

450*20%=90 girls

450*80%=360 boys

Students having mobile phones: 40% (OF THE 90) girls, 60% (OF THE 360) boys

90*40%=36 girls

360*60%=216 boys

[We honestly don't need to care about the girls without mobile phones as they are only asking how many boys have mobile phones]

A building casts a shadow that is 50 feet in length. If the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building is 25
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this question.

We have that:

The shadow of 50 feet is one side of the right triangle, while the height h is other side.

The hypotenuse is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building, which is 250 feet.

So

50^2 + h^2 = 250^2

h^2 = \sqrt{250^2 - 50^2}

h = 244.95

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

The following numerically ordered sequence of numbers has a mean
Vladimir79 [104]
Median =  middle number

Total ten numbers so 
median =   (17 + b)/2
given median = 18
so
(17 + b)/  2 = 18
17+b = 36
b = 36 - 17
b = 19

Now you have the data set
7, a , 12, 15 , 17, 19, 20, 22, 24 , 25

Mean =  (7 + a + 12+ 15 +17 + 19 + 20 + 22 +24  +25)/ 10
Given mean = 17

so
17 = (7 + a + 12+ 15 +17 + 19 + 20 + 22 +24  +25)/ 10
17 = (a + 161) / 10
a + 161 = 170
a = 170 - 161
a = 9

answer
a = 9
b = 19

8,9,8,11<br> Mean:<br> Median:<br> Mode:<br> Range
Finger [1]
Mean: add all numbers together and divide by the amount of numbers there are.
8 + 9 + 8 + 11 = 36
36/4 = 9
mean = 9

Median: Find the middle number. Since in this case it has an even amount of numbers, add the two middle numbers and divide by 2
8 + 9 = 15
15/2 = 7.5
median = 7.5

Mode: The number that shows up the most 
Mode  = 8

Range: Subtract the smallest number from the largest number
11 - 8 = 3
Range = 3

hope this helps
