For polynomials, if we say of "rate of change", we are talking about the slope of the tangent line. That is the value of dy/dx or the differential of y in terms of x. From the given choices, the answer would be the second choice, y = 19x - 10. This is because dy/dx in this item is essentially equal to 19 which is a constant.
Answer:
a) 41
b) -31
c) 25/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The instructions explain what a function is pretty clearly.
Basically, whatever is in the parentheses next to the
, you plug in to the expression that is the function.
ex: 

Okay, onto the problems:
a) 
First, plug in 14, since that is given:

and solve.


So, 41 is the answer to a.
b) Do the same thing you did in problem a. Plug in the number inside the parentheses and solve.



-31 is the answer to b.
c) For this problem, you have to do a bit of algebra.
First, take the base function f(x):

Then, set f(x) = 24:

and solve by isolating x.



25/3 is the answer to c.
It is prime, it can't be divided by anything, but itself and one.
As it is just 6 equilateral triangles and the formula for area of a triangle
1/2 * base * height
and you can find the height by using pythagoras c^2 - b^2 = a^2
so do 4^2 - 2^2 = 16 - 4 = 12
6 * 1/2 * 4 *

=
