Okay first you need to convert 0.2 to a percentage which would be 20% then 20% + 20% = 40% then it says he read 50%, 50% of 36 means that you have to multiply 36 two times to get, 72 then you do 72 * 40% = 28.8 = 29 + 72 = 101 pages in all then 101- 40%= 60.6 is how many pages were read on Monday and Tuesday.

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

y = 1/40x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept equation format:

y = mx + b

m = slope/ gradient/ constant of variation/ rate of change

b = y-intercept

To find the slope, use the formula:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Find two random points:

1 - (0.5, 40) , 2 - (1, 60)

Plug in:

$\frac{60-40}{1-0.5}$

Solve:

$\frac{20}{0.5}$

Divide:

$\frac{1}{40}$

The y-intercept is when the x-coordinate is equal to 0.

The y-intercept is always the beginning.

So observing the graph, the first point is (0, 20)

The x-coordinate is 0.

Y intercept = 20.

Plug in both slope and y-intercept:

y = 1/40x + 20

Between x=2 and x=3, which function has a greater average rate of change than f(x)=2^x has?

maxonik [38]

Answer: f(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the formula for the rate of change by taking the derivative of 2^x. Let f(x) equal some hypothetical y-value, then take the natural log of both sides.

$y=2^x\\\ln(y)=x \ln(2)$
