$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average\ rate\\
of\ change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= x^4+3x^3-5x^2+2x-2 \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=-1\\
x_2=1
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(1)-f(-1)}{1-(-1)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[1+3-5+2-2]~~-~~[1-3-5-2-2]}{1+1}\implies \cfrac{[-1]~~-~~[-11]}{2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-1+11}{2}\implies \cfrac{10}{2}\implies 5$

Calculate the mass of a rectangular solid that has a density of 2.53 g/cm3 and which measures 25 mm by 1.80 cm by 3.00 cm.

Annette [7]

Mass = density x volume
1st we need to get the volume
V = (25*10^-1) * (1.8) * (3)
V = 13.5 cm3
mass = 2.53 * 13.5
mass = 34.155 kg

The number of mosquitoes M(x), in millions, in a certain area depends on the June rainfall x, in inches: M(x) = 13 x - x2. What

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The number of mosquitoes is maximum for 6.5 inches rainfall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$M(x)=13x-x^2$ .... (1)

where, M(x) is number of mosquitoes in millions and x the June rainfall in inches.

We need to find the rainfall that produces the maximum number of mosquitoes.

Differential the above function with respect to x.

$M'(x)=13-2x$ .... (2)

Equate first derivative equal to 0.

$13-2x=0$

$2x=13$

$x=\frac{13}{2}=6.5$

Differential function (2) with respect to x.

$M''(x)=-2$

Double derivative is negative. So, the value of function is maximum at x=6.5.

Therefore, the number of mosquitoes is maximum for 6.5 inches rainfall.

Dora is thinking of a number between 500 and 600

wariber [46]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

500 ÷ 8 = 62 r 4, for example

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have a remainder of 4, the divisor must be greater than 4, so could be any of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

The corresponding numbers could be any of ...

504 +5n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 19

502 +6n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 16

501 +7n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 14

500 +8n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 12

508 +9n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 10

__

For example, with the divisor being 6, and n=13, the number could be ...

580 = 6·96 + 4
