How can the average rate of change be identified for a function?

Mathematics

Digiron [165]3 years ago

Answer:

Rateofchange=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

where x₁ and x₂ are values in the interval [x,y] respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first to determine the average rate of change of a function, you should have the interval of the values of x for the function.

So lets assume you have a function;

f(x)=x^3-4x

And the interval as [1,3]

Then the average rate of change for the function f(x) will be;

=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

where x₁ and x₂ are the interval coordinates x,y respectively. In this case x₁=1 and x₂=3

To find the average rate of change in this example will be;

=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} \\\\=f(x_2)=f(3)=3^3-4(3)=27-12=15\\\\=f(x_1)=f(1)=1^3-4(1)=1-4=-3\\\\\\=x_2-x_1=3-1=2\\\\\\=\frac{15--3}{2} \\\\=\frac{18}{2} =9

Write an explicit rule for the geometric sequence (answers down below) :
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Correct answer is third from the top an = 27 · (1/3)∧(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given geometric sequence :  27, 9, 3, 1,....

First term a1= 27, second term a2= 9, third term a3= 3 etc...

Standard form of the n-th term is

an = a1 · q∧(n-1)

We will find quotient when we divide second term with first and third with second

q = a2/a1 = a3/a2 = 9/27 = 3/9 = 1/3

Formula fot n-th term is

an = 27 · (1/3)∧(n-1)

God with you!!!

Consider the following "generic rectangle" where the area of each region is given. Write equivalent
marta [7]

Answer:

  • sum: 3x² -4x -4
  • product: (x -2)(3x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The areas of four regions are given. We can simply add them to find the sum. To express them as a product, we need to look at common factors.

<h3>Sum</h3>

The total of the given area expressions is ...

  3x² +2x -6x -4 = 3x² -4x -4 . . . . sum

<h3>Product</h3>

Extending the table to show common factors of each row and column, we have ...

  \begin{array}{c|c|c|}&3x&2\\\cline{1-3}x&3x^2&2x\\\cline{1-3}-2&-6x&-4\\\cline{1-3}\end{array}

Since each cell of the table is the product of the corresponding common factors, we can write the area as the product ...

  (x -2)(3x +2) . . . . product
