Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change is
f(7) - f(1)
---------------
7-1
f(7) = 7^2 + 5*7 +14 = 49 +35 +14=98
f(1) = 1^2 +5(1)+14 = 1+5+14=20
98-20
--------
7-1
78/6

Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write an equation to represent the situation.
34 = 2a + 12
This equation works because your combined age is half of 68, so 34. If your age is a, then yours sister's age is a + 12. if you add your age to your sister's, you get 2a + 12.
Now just solve for a.
34 = 2a + 12
First, subtract 12 from both sides.
22 = 2a
Then divide both sides by 2.
11 = a
So you are 11 years old. If you need to check your work, your age (11) plus your sister's age (11 + 12, which is 23) is 34, which is half of your grandfather's age.
Answer:
c $11,751
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that models Alicia's car is

where x represents the number of years since she purchased the car.
We want to find the value of Alicia's car after 8 years.
We substitute x=8 into the formula to get:



We round to the nearest dollar to get:

The correct answer is C.
Answer (B) 2/3
Explanation: the multiplicative rate is the ratio of the values y(k)/y(k+1) (with k being the index). This ratio must be the same for the function to be exponential. We can take y(2)/y(1) = 4/6 = 2/3.
We can use 2/3 to verify the remaining entries:
x=3: 4*2/3 = 8/3 = y(3)
x=4: (8/3)*(2/3)=16/9=y(3)
