3.7 estimates 4. 5.1 estimate to 5 so 4*5 =20.

If you estimated 3.7 to 4 and 5.1 to 5 the answer would be 20. You would have 20 and now you can think is 20 a reasonable answer for 3.7x5.1. The answer for 3.7x5.1=18.87, so the answer is yes.

Hope that helped:)

Find the rate of change

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of a function f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

here [ a, b ] = [ 3, 7 ]

f(b) = f(7) = 47 and f(a) = f(3) = 11, hence

rate of change = $\frac{47-11}{7-3}$ = $\frac{36}{4}$ = 9
