Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 3×1 - 1 = 2

f(4) = 3×4 - 1 = 12-1 = 11

so, the functional value changes 11-2=9 units on an x interval of 4-1=3 units length.

the average change rate is the total change across the x interval relative to the interval length.

that is

9/3 = 3

which is the slope (= the factor of x) in the line equation.

for a line its change rate for any point is the same constant. and that is therefore automatically also the average change rate across an interval of x values.

if the change rate would be different for different parts of the function, it would not be a straight line.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [ 1, 4 ] , then

f(b) = f(4) = 3(4) - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

f(a) = f(1) = 3(1) - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2

average rate of change = \frac{11-2}{4-1} = \frac{9}{3} = 3

Determine the solution set of (2x - 5)2 = 11.
zhenek [66]
I think what you meant was

(2x - 5)² = 11 -- (1)

Square root both sides of (1), i.e.

√(2x - 5)² = ± √11 -- (2)

From (2), we have

2x - 5 = ± √11 -- (3)

By adding 5 to both sides in (3), we have

2x = 5 ± √11 -- (4)

Divide both sides of (4) by 2, and we obtain

x = (5 ± √11)/2 -- (5)

From (5), the solution set of (1) is

x = (5 + √11)/2, (5 - √11)/2 ...Ans.

What is the sum of the geometric series? Sigma-Summation Underscript n = 1 Overscript 4 EndScripts (negative 2) (negative 3) Sup
belka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∑⁴ₙ₌₁ -144 (½)ⁿ⁻¹

This is a finite geometric series with n = 4, a₁ = -144, and r = ½.

S = a₁ (1 − rⁿ) / (1 − r)

S = -144 (1 − (½)⁴) / (1 − ½)

S = -270

If you wanted to find the infinite sum (n = ∞):

S = a₁ / (1 − r)

S = -144 / (1 − ½)

S = -288

I believe that’s false, because for every x there should only be one y, and x(5) has two y’s (1 and 3)
