Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-values 5, 3, 1 form an arithmetic sequence. The y-values will do the same: 1, 2, a = 1, 2, 3 -- a common difference of +1.

a = 3

Let f(x)=−1/4(x+4)^2−8 . What is the average rate of change for the quadratic function from x=−2 to x = 2? Enter your answer in

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Average rate of change of function is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $f(x)=\frac{-1}{4}(x+4)^2-8$ .

we have to find the average rate of change for the quadratic function from x=−2 to x = 2.

$f(-2)=\frac{-1}{4}(-2+4)^2-8=\frac{-1}{4}(4)-8=-9$

$f(2)=\frac{-1}{4}(2+4)^2-8=\frac{-1}{4}(36)-8=-17$

The average rate of change of the function f(x) on interval [-2,2] is

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{f(2)-f(-2)}{2-(-2)}=\frac{-17-(-9)}{4}=\frac{-8}{4}=-2$

What is x for the the problem y=6x + 8

Misha Larkins [42]

If Y is 8, we solve by subtracting 8 on both sides,

0 = 6x

Divide by 6,

0 = x

x is equal to 0
