2.5 times.
40 divided by16 equals 2.5
Hope that helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Half of Robert's piece of wire is equal to of Maria's wire i.e.
....(1)
Total length of the wires = 10 feet
ATQ,
....(2)
Use equation (1) in (2).

So,

Hence, this is the required solution.
To find the average rate of change of given function f(x) on a given interval (a,b):
Find f(b)-f(a), b-a, and then divide your result for f(b)-f(a) by your result for b-a:
f(b) - f(a)
------------
b-a
Here your function is f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3. Substituting b=5 and a=-2,
f(5) = 5^2 -2(5)+3 =? and f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 3 = ?
Calculate f(5) - [ f(-2) ]
------------------ using your results, above.
5 - [-2]
Your answer to this, if done correctly, is the "average rate of change of the function f(x) = x^2+2x+3 on the interval [-2,5]."
Answer: -5
Step-by-step explanation: The common difference is the same number we are adding each time to get from one term to the next.
In this sequence, we are adding -5 each time
so our common difference is -5.
