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

Answer:

37.69 (≈ 38 ft²)

Step-by-step explanation:

2πr = 30.77

r = 30.77 / (2 * 3.14) = 4.9

half of free-throw circle area: πr² / 2 = (3.14 * 4.9²) / 2 = 37.69 (≈ 38 ft²)

A side of a square is 8 3/2 inches. Using the area formula A = s2, determine the area of the square.

Sedaia [141]

We are given that:
side length = 8 3/2 inches = 9.5 inches
the rule for the area is: A = s^2

Substitute with the side length in the rule given to get the area as follows:
Area = s^2 = (9.5)^2 = 90.25 inch^2

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, if the rate of change for y ( output value ) with respect to x ( input value ) remains constant for a function then it is called linear function.

Here, number of hours represents input value and minutes represents the output value,

Now, By the given table,

The function is passing through the points (1,60), (2,120), (3,180), (4,240) and (5,300),

Also,

⇒ The rate of change output value with respect to input value remains constant,

Hence, It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.
