Between x=2 and x=3, which function has a greater average rate of change than f(x)=2^x has?

Mathematics

maxonik [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: f(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the formula for the rate of change by taking the derivative of 2^x. Let f(x) equal some hypothetical y-value, then take the natural log of both sides.

y=2^x\\\ln(y)=x \ln(2)

Implicitly differentiate the left side and take the derivative of the right side

\frac{y'}{y} =\ln(2)

Multiply both sides by 'y' which was defined as 2^x

y'=\ln(2)*2^x

Plug in x = 2 and x = 3 to see which slope is larger

y'=\ln(2)*2^2=4\ln(2)\\y'=\ln(2)*2^3=8\ln(2)

What is the slope of the line l described by the equation below? y=-2x+4
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The slope of the line would be -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the equation is a line, the slope is the same throughout the entire graph on the equation.

Lets let f(x)=y=-2x+4.

f(0) = -2(0) + 4 = 4

f(0)=4

f(1) = -2(1) + 4 = 2

f(1)=2

Use the equation to find slope.

m(slope) = \frac{2-4}{1-0} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2

<em>The slope would be -2.</em>

<em />

Or:

Use the equation y = mx + b where m=slope.

In the equation y=-2x+4, m=-2.

<em>The slope is -2.</em>

zvonat [6]

Answer:  11.15

Step-by-step explanation:

10.2 + 12.1 = 22.3 is the total amount of points averaged each game together

22.3 divided by 2 + 11.15

11.15 is the average of the two players over the 10 games

Using differential calculus, maximize the volume of a box made of cardboard (top is open) as shown in Figure A. 15, subject to t
lana [24]

The maximum volume of the box is 40√(10/27) cu in.

Here we see that volume is to be maximized

The surface area of the box is 40 sq in

Since the top lid is open, the surface area will be

lb + 2lh + 2bh = 40

Now, the length is equal to the breadth.

Let them be x in

Hence,

x² + 2xh + 2xh = 40

or, 4xh = 40 - x²

or, h = 10/x - x/4

Let f(x) = volume of the box

= lbh

Hence,

f(x) = x²(10/x - x/4)

= 10x - x³/4

differentiating with respect to x and equating it to 0 gives us

f'(x) = 10 - 3x²/4 = 0

or, 3x²/4 = 10

or, x² = 40/3

Hence x will be equal to 2√(10/3)

Now to check whether this value of x will give us the max volume, we will find

f"(2√(10/3))

f"(x) = -3x/2

hence,

f"(2√(10/3)) = -3√(10/3)

Since the above value is negative, volume is maximum for x = 2√(10/3)

Hence volume

= 10 X 2√(10/3)  -  [2√(10/3)]³/4

= 2√(10/3) [10 - 10/3]

= 2√(10/3) X 20/3

= 40√(10/27) cu in
