Question 14) 3³
question 15) 100/9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure you want your functions to appear as perfectly formed as possible so that others can help you. f(x) = 4(2)x should be written with the " ^ " sign to denote exponentation: f(x) = 4(2)^x
f(b) - f(a)
The formula for "average rate of change" is a.r.c. = --------------
b - a
change in function value
This is equivalent to ---------------------------------------
change in x value
For Section A: x changes from 1 to 2 and the function changes from 4(2)^1 to 4(2)^2: 8 to 16. Thus, "change in function value" is 8 for a 1-unit change in x from 1 to 2. Thus, in this Section, the a.r.c. is:
8
------ = 8 units (Section A)
1
Section B: x changes from 3 to 4, a net change of 1 unit: f(x) changes from
4(2)^3 to 4(2)^4, or 32 to 256, a net change of 224 units. Thus, the a.r.c. is
224 units
----------------- = 224 units (Section B)
1 unit
The a.r.c for Section B is 28 times greater than the a.r.c. for Section A.
This change in outcome is so great because the function f(x) is an exponential function; as x increases in unit steps, the function increases much faster (we say "exponentially").
Answer : 254 ft sq
A = pi x r^2
A = 3.14 x 81
Subtract 3 from both sides
simplify 12 - 3 to 9
break down the problem into these two equations
1 + p = 9 and -(1 + p) = 9
solve the first equation 1 + p = 9 and that would be 8 since 1 + 8 = 9 is true.
solve the second equation -(1 + p) = 9 and just simplify brackets and add 1 to both sides then add 9 + 1 and lastly multiply both sides by -1 and p = -10.
Gather both solutions
Answers: p = -10, 8
