10 dimes
The $2 are exchanged for 10 dimes and 4 quarters, which make 14 coins total.
1) 3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4. Vanessa's brothers ate half of the cake.
2) 1.75 + 2.4 = 4.15. 6.5 - 4.15 = 2.35. 4.15 = 2.35 = 1.8. Chad hiked 1.8 ore miles in the morning than in the afternoon.
Let [a, b] = the interval
The average rate of change can be found by using [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a).
Let a = 1 and b = 5.
Let R = rate of change
17- x^2
R = [17 - 5^2] - [17 - 1^2]/(5 - 1)
R = [17 - 25] -[17 - 1]/4
R = [(-8) - (16)]/4
R = (-24)/4
R = -6
Done.
The answer is a because i said so.
