Solve the equation by replacing x with -7 and then -1.
Then subtract the two to find the difference and divide that by the difference between -7 and -1.
f(-7) = -7^2 + 2(-7) -8 = 49 -14 -8 = 27
f(-1) = -1^2 + 2(-1) -8 = 1 -2 - 8 = -9
Difference between 27 and -9 = -36
Difference between -1 and -7 = -6
Rate of change = -36 /-6 = 6
Angle ECD is 118°, let me know if you need an explanation or just wanted the answer
Idk if ya still need it or if this will help but this is what i put for mine
Concepts that I had previously learned about are quite important because math goes hand and hand. if you try to skip something and go ahead you'll most likely get confused because there could of been something highly important to that would help you understand whats ahead. in the previous unit it tells you about triangles and their description like a right triangle-90 degree angle and where legs and hypotenuse is located, this unit has had a ton about right triangles.
