a = 3, b= - 4 and c = - 4
expand the left side using FOIL
(2x + 1)(ax + b) = 2ax² + 2bx + ax + b = 2ax² + x(2b + a) + b
compare the coefficients of expressions on left and right sides.
compare 2ax² + x(2b +a) + b with 6x² - 5x + c
coefficients of x² terms → 2a = 6 ⇒ a = 3
coefficients of x terms → 2b + a = - 5 → 2b + 3 = - 5 → 2b = - 8 ⇒ b = - 4
constant terms c = b = - 4

Answer:
The average rate of change is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to calculate the average rate of change of a function F(x) is:

In this case, F(x) = 
a=2 and b=4
You have to evaluate x=2 (which is a in the formula) and x=4 (which is b in the formula) in the function.
In order to obtain F(b) and F(a) you have to replace x=4 and x=2 in the given function:
F(b) = 
F(a) = 

The answer is 8.
Answer:
<h2>800%</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the population
in 1965 → the population becomes 2p
in 1970 → the population becomes 2(2p) = 4p
in 1975 → the population becomes 2(4p) = 8p
p ——————> 100%
8p ————-—-> x%
then
