Step-by-step explanation:

the average rate of change of a function f in an interval [x-low, x-high] is

(f(x-high) - f(x-low)) / (x-high - x-low)

the year 2000 means t = 2000-1980 = 20

the year 2015 means t = 2015-1980 = 35

so, we have

(A(35) - A(20)) / (35 - 20)

((-0.6(35)² + 37.2×35 + 243) - (-0.6(20)² + 37.2×20 + 243)) / 15

((-735 + 1302 + 243) - (-240 + 744 + 243)) / 15

(810 - 747) / 15 = 63/15 = 4.2

the average change rate between 2000 and 2015 is 4.2.

that means that the use of nuclear energy in the USA increased by 4.2 billions of kilowatt hours per year during that period.

Can a right triangle be formed using these squares

Ilya [14]

Yes. The two smaller squares have a sum of 169 which is the value of the larger square.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

25 + 144 = 169

It can be done. Notice the figure below shows you how to arrange the squares to give the answer of a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Last tuesday evening, Aaron, the car wash owner, found he had 90% more quarters than dimes. If the combined value of Aaron's qua

Alex Ar [27]

Aaron the car wash owner had 228 quarters and 120 dimes.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of quarters and y represent the number of dimes. Hence:

x = 90% of y + y

x = (0.9y) + y

x - 1.9y = 0 (1)

Also:

0.25x + 0.1y = 69 (2)

From both equations:

x = 228, y = 120

Aaron the car wash owner had 228 quarters and 120 dimes.

Jake went on a riverboat tour. After returning from the tour, he was curious to know the speed at which the boat was going. Duri

atroni [7]

I'm sorry I'm too lazy to read all of that. However, I did get the main point. The river was going at 3 mph. Since he wanted to travel 10 miles upstream and downstream, you would have to subtract 20 by 3. This would mean he was going at a speed of 17 mph.

What is the exact circumference of a circle with a radius of 12 inches?

Anestetic [448]

We can get the circumference of any circle in terms of the radius with this formula. C = 2 $\pi$ r.

Where r is the radius of the circle.

And we will use 3.14 for $\pi$ .

Plug in all the values.

C = 2 * 3.14 * 2

C = 12.56

So, the circumference of the circle is 12.6 inches when rounded to the nearest tenth.
