Answer:

The total amount is 384

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m = the amount of money

5/8 of the money is 240

5/8 * m = 240

Multiply each side by 8/5

8/5 * 5/8 * m = 8/5 * 240

m =384

The total amount is 384

What is the average rate of change of the function f(x)=4(2)^x from x = 0 to x = 2? Enter your answer in the box.

bekas [8.4K]

average rate of change is just the slope from (0,f(0)) to (2,f(2))

basically, average rate of change=slope= $\frac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0}$

evalaute each

f(2)=4(2)^2=4(4)=16

f(0)=4(2)^0=4(1)=4

so average rate of change= $\frac{16-4}{2-0}=\fracc{12}{2}=6$

average rate of change is 6

Use the method of completing the square to transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x – p)^2 = q.

Eva8 [605]

x⁴ - 8x² = 0
x⁴ - 8x² + 16 = 0 + 16
x⁴ - 4x² - 4x² + 16 = 16
x²(x²) - x²(4) - 4(x²) + 4(4) = 16
x²(x² - 4) - 4(x² - 4) = 16
(x² - 4)(x² - 4) = 16
(x² - 4)² = 16

The answer is B.
