This is an algebra expression. What we do is write it down in simplest form.

1. Write down equation

= 17 - 3 x n

= 3 x n + (-17)

I hope this answer helped. Have a great day everyone!

Answer:

5/12

7/12

125/36 = 3,47%

50/11 = 4,54%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability a black sock is selected when a person chooses 1 sock = 5/12

Probability a white or brown sock is selected when a person chooses 1 sock =

7/12

Probability a person chooses 3 socks and selects a white first, a black second, and a brown last if the socks are replace = (4/12 * 5/12 * 3/12)*100 =125/36 = 3,47%

Pobability a person chooses 3 socks and selects a white first, a black second, and a brown last if the socks are NOT replace = (4/12 * 5/11 * 3/ 10)*100 = 50/11 = 4,54%

Calculate the average rate of change of f(x) = 1 x - x2 - 2 for 3 ≤ x ≤ 6. A) -163 18 B) -18 163 C) 163 18 D) 18 163

To solve this we are going to use the average rate of change formula: $A(x)= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$
where
$A(x)$ is the average rate of change of the function
$f(a)$ is the position function evaluated at $a$
$f(b)$ is the position function evaluated at $b$
$a$ is the first point in the interval
$b$ is the second point in the interval

We can infer for our problem that the first point is 3 and the second point is 6, so $a=3$ and $b=6$ . Lets replace those values in our formula:
$A(x)= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$
$A(x)= \frac{f(6)-f(3)}{6-3}$
$A(x)= \frac{6-6^2-2-(3-3^2-2)}{3}$
$A(x)= \frac{-32-(-8)}{3}$
$A(x)= \frac{-32+8}{3}$
$A(x)= \frac{-24}{3}$
$A(x)=-8$

We can conclude that the average rate of change of the function f(x) = 1 x - x2 - 2 for <span>3 ≤ x ≤ 6 is -8</span>
