Answer:

The solution to this system of equations is:

  • B = 28
  • T = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jill has 47 bugs and counts a total 320 legs.

We can concur that by adding the total number of butterflies and the total number of tarantulas, we will get 47 bugs.

\text{tarantulas + butterflies} = 47

We are also told that T is tarantulas and B is butterflies.

T + B = 47

Then, we also know that butterflies have 6 legs and tarantulas have 8 legs. So, for every tarantula, we get a multiple of 8 and for butterflies, we get a multiple of 6. This gives us a new equation:

6B + 8T = 320

Now, we can set up a system of equation.

\displaystyle \left \{ {{B + T = 47} \atop {6B + 8T = 320}} \right.

Using the first equation, we can solve for B.

\displaystyle B + T = 47\\\\B + T - T = 47 - T\\\\B = 47 - T

Then, we can substitute this value of B into the second equation and solve for T.

\displaystyle 6(47-T)+8T=320\\\\282 - 6T + 8T = 320\\\\282 + 2T = 320\\\\2T + 282 = 320\\\\2T + 282 - 282 = 320 -282\\\\2T = 38\\\\\frac{2T}{2}=\frac{38}{2}\\\\T = 19

Finally, we can substitute this value of T into the first equation to solve for B.

B + 19 = 47\\\\B + 19 - 19 = 47 - 19\\\\B = 28

Therefore, the solution to this system of equations is:

  • B = 28
  • T = 19

Match the average rates of change of f(x) to the corresponding intervals.
spin [16.1K]

The average rates of change of f(x) and their corresponding intervals are given as:

Interval          Rate of Change

[-5, -1]                 -8

[-4, -1]                 -7

[-3, 1]                  -4

[-2, 1]                  -3.

<h3>What is the explanation for the above?
</h3>

Step 1 - See Table Attached

Step 2 - State the formula for rate of change

The formula for rate of change is given as:
= [change in f(x)] / [change in x]

a) For interval [5, -1] ⇒

Rate of Change - [ f(1) - f(-5) ] / [-1 - (-5)]  

= [-1 - 35] / [-1+5]

= -36 / 4

= - 8

b) For interval [-4, -1] ⇒

rate of change = [ f(-1) - f(-4) ] / [ -1 - (-4) ]

= [3 - 24] / [-1 + 4]

= -21/3

= - 7

c) interval [-3,1] ⇒

rate of change = [ f(1) - f(-3) ] / [ 1 - (-3) ]

= [-1 - 15] / [1 + 3]

= -16/4

= - 4

d) interval [-2,1] ⇒

rate of change = [f (1) - f(-2)] / [1 - (-2)]

= [ -1 - 8] / [1 + 2]

= -9/3

= -3
