Answer:

Rate of change = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = -½(x + 2)² + 5

Required:

Average rate of change from x = -3 to x = 1

Solution:

Rate of change = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

Where,

a = -3,

f(a) = f(-3) = -½(-3 + 2)² + 5 = -½(-1)² + 5 = 4.5

b = 1,

f(b) = f(1) = -½(1 + 2)² + 5 = -½(9) + 5 = 0.5

Plug in the values into the formula:

Rate of change = \frac{0.5 - 4.5}{1 - (-3)}

Rate of change = \frac{-4}{4}

Rate of change = -1

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

There will be 2 numbers of individual bags of chocolates left with Missy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Missy bought 4 bags of chocolates and there are 8 pieces of chocolates in each bag.

Therefore, there was a total (4× 8) = 32 chocolates.

Now, her kids ate 6 of the chocolates.

So, there remains (32 - 6) = 26 chocolates left.

If Missy packed the remaining chocolates into individual bags with 13 chocolates in each bag, then there will be \frac{26}{13} =2 numbers of individual bags of chocolates left with Missy. (Answer)
