Georgia [21]2 years ago

Given the function, <em>f(x) = 3x + 6,</em> we can solve for f(a), f(a + h) and \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} by substituting their values into f(x) = 3x + 6. We will have the following:

\mathbf{f(a) = 3a + 6}\\\\\mathbf{f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6}\\\\\mathbf{\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} = 6}

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

  • f(x) = 3x + 6

<em>We are told to find:</em>

  1. f(a)
  2. f(a + h), and
  3. \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}

1. <em><u>Find f(a):</u></em>

  • Substitute x = a into f(x) = 3x + 6

f(a) = 3(a) + 6

f(a) = 3a + 6

<em>2. Find f(a + h):</em>

  • Substitute x = a + h into f(x) = 3x + 6

f(a + h) = 3(a + h) + 6

f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6

<em>3. Find </em>\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}<em>:</em>

  • Plug in the values of f(a + h) and f(a) into \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}

Thus:

\frac{((3a + 3h + 6) - (3a + 6)) }{h}\\\\\frac{(3a + 3h + 6 - 3a - 6) }{h}\\\\

  • Add like terms

\frac{(3a - 3a + 3h + 6 - 6) }{h}\\\\= \frac{3h }{h}\\\\\mathbf{= 3}

Therefore, given the function, <em>f(x) = 3x + 6,</em> we can solve for f(a), f(a + h) and \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} by substituting their values into f(x) = 3x + 6. We will have the following:

\mathbf{f(a) = 3a + 6}\\\\\mathbf{f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6}\\\\\mathbf{\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} = 6}

Choose three intervals on the real number line that contain both rational and irrational numbers. Do you think that any given in
Helen [10]

Any real number line ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity. A real number number line consists of all the rational and irrational numbers. Let us take three intervals which contain both the rational and irrational numbers.

First interval:  [3,4]

Since every integer is a rational number, 3 and 4 are both rational. In this interval there occurs the value of π (3.14159..) which is an irrational number.

Second interval :  [0,2]

0 and 2 are integers and hence are rational. In this interval, occurs √2 (1.41421...) is an irrational number.

Third interval : [2,3]

In this interval, Eulers number 'e' lie whose value is (2.718281.. )

Hence we can conclude that, there occurs an irrational number between any two rational number.

I'm not really sure, because 650 marked down by 27% would be 474.5, which is close but not exact.

Hope I helped a little bit, sorry if I'm wrong.

I don’t understand can someone please explain how to work this out and what the answer is
joja [24]

When you see an equation with parenthesis around it, you can use this:

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Otherwise known as PEMDAS.

We can see that in the equation, there are parenthesis, so we can open those. We open parenthesis by taking the number right next to the parenthesis (or outside the parenthesis) and we multiply that number by everything inside. So this is what it would look like:

-2x^2 - 10x + 8

See how the signs changed? This rule only applies when you multiply something, but here is how I think of it:

+ and + always equals +.

- and - always equals +.

- and + always equals -.

+ and - always equals -.

So that's it! Just to be clear, the answer is:

-2x^2 - 10x + 8

Hope I helped, sorry if I'm wrong!
