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}

Jim began a 165 mile bicycle trip to build up stamina for a triathlete competition unfortunately his bike chain broke so he fini
denpristay [2]

Answer: Approximately 4.7 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

He rode the bicycle for some time before it broke down and he walked the remaining distance. This means that Jim covered a total of 165 miles by riding at a speed of 35 miles per hour and walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour.

Let x = the distance covered by riding the bicycle.

Let y = the distance covered by walking.

Time = distance /speed

Time he used in riding would be x/35

Time he used in walking would be y/3

Since the entire trip took 7 hours,

x/35 + y/3 = 7

3x + 35y = 735 - - - - - - - - 1

Total miles covered is 165. Therefore,

x + y = 165 - - - - - - - - -- - -2

Substituting x = 165-y into equation 1, it becomes

3(165-y) + 35y = 735

495-3y + 35y = 735

-3y + 135y = 735-495

132y = 240

y = 240/132

y = 1.81m

x = 165 - 1.81 = 163.19

Amount of time that he spent on the bicycle will be

x/35 = 163.19/35

= 4.66

Approximately 4.7 hours.

which has the greater volume: Prism with a length of 5 inches, a width of 4 inches, and a height of 10, or a prism with a length
GuDViN [60]
Since you have to multiple. L×W×H....

The first one has a volume of 400 and the second has a volume of 400...so both prisms have an equal volume but have a differnet shape
