Find the average rate of change of the function from x=1 to x=2.

Mathematics

Pachacha [2.7K]2 years ago

Answer:

Average rate of change = \frac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

For a closed interval [a,b] in a function, the average rate of change is m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}.

Thus, given our interval of [1,2] from the directions, we determine that f(b)=f(2)=-\frac{10}{(2)^2}=-\frac{10}{4}=-\frac{5}{2} and f(a)=f(1)=-\frac{10}{(1)^2}=-\frac{10}{1}=-10.

Hence, m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{(-\frac{5}{2})-(-10) }{2-1}=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{1}=\frac{15}{2}.

In conclusion, the average rate of change of the function from x=1 to x=2 is \frac{15}{2}.

The weight of a product is normally distributed with a mean of four ounces and a variance of .25 squared ounces. What is the pro
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

P(X>3.75)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.75-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.75-4}{0.5})=P(z>-0.5)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and we got:

P(z>-0.5)=1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(4,\sqrt{0.25}=0.5)  

Where \mu=4 and \sigma=0.5

We are interested on this probability

P(X>3.75)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>3.75)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.75-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.75-4}{0.5})=P(z>-0.5)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and we got:

P(z>-0.5)=1-P(z

the perimeter of a rectangle is 60 meters. if the length of the rectangle is 14 meters. what is the width of the rectangle.,
Ray Of Light [21]
Perimeter is 2width+2length
Therefore since you already know that the perimeter is 60 and the length is 14 you can set up the equation; 
60= 2w+14
with this you then need to find w so;
60=2w+14
-14     -14
46=2w
(46/2)=(2w/2)
13=w
The width is 13
