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

Can someone find the surface area of the composite shape and show work! I’ll give 30pts! Thanks!
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

382 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape can be decomposed into two rectangular prism or cuboids

✔️Dimension of prism 1 (smaller prism):

L = 10 cm

W = 3 cm

H = 7 - 4 = 3 cm

Surface area of prism 1 = 2(LW + LH + WH)

= 2(10*3 + 10*3 + 3*3)

= 2(69)

Surface area of prism 1 = 138 cm²

✔️Dimension of prism 2 (larger prism):

L = 10 cm

W = 8 cm

H = 4 cm

Surface area of prism = 2(LW + LH + WH)

= 2(10*8 + 10*4 + 8*4)

= 2(152)

Surface area of prism 2 = 304 cm²

✅Surface Area of the composite shape = (Surface area of prism 1 + surface area of prism 2) - (2 × area of the base of prism 1)

= (138 + 304) - (2 × L × W)

= 442 - (2 × 10 × 3)

= 442 - 60

= 382 cm²

I NEED HELP please!!
swat32

Answer:

  (c)  11

Step-by-step explanation:

As x goes up by 1, f(x) goes up by 2. The next line of the chart would be ...

  x = 4+1 = 5; f(x) = 9+2 = 11

The appropriate choice is f(5) = 11.

How do you calculate gross pay net pay and employee benefits
Sonja [21]

Gross pay is the amount of money your employees receive before any taxes and deductions are taken out. For example, when you tell an employee, “I'll pay you $50,000 a year,” it means you will pay them $50,000 in gross wages.

Hope this helps!!
