Answer:

(x = -20) if what your saying is 6 = -2x - 4 and (x = -16) if what your saying is x = -2 x 6 - 4

Let f(x) = 1/x . Find the number b such that the average rate of change of f on the interval [2, b] is − 1/8

Answer:

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the function $f(x)=1/x$ . We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).

f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2

So, we have the point (2, 1/2)

At point b, f(b) = 1/b.

Let's plug this into the slope formula:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{.5-\frac{1}{b} }{2-b} =-1/8$

Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).

$\frac{.5b-1}{2b-b^2} =\frac{-1}{8}$
