Constant rates are used to illustrate linear functions.

  • The average rate of change is $9.0 per hour
  • The function that models the table is: \mathbf{f(x) = 9x }
  • The amount earned in 7.5 hours is $67.5

<u>(a) The average rate of change</u>

This is calculated using:

\mathbf{Rate = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Rate = \frac{31.5-22.50}{3.5 - 2.5}}

\mathbf{Rate = \frac{9}{1.0}}

\mathbf{Rate = 9.0}

Hence, the average rate of change is $9.0 per hour

<u>(b) A function that models the table of values</u>

Let x represent hours, and y represent the earnings.

So, we have:

\mathbf{y =m (x - x_1) + y_1}

Where:

m =Rate = 9.0

So, we have:

\mathbf{y = 9(x - 2.5) + 22.5}

Expand

\mathbf{y = 9x - 22.5 + 22.5}

\mathbf{y = 9x }

Represent as a function

\mathbf{f(x) = 9x }

Hence, the function that models the table is: \mathbf{f(x) = 9x }

<u>(c) Amount earned for 7.5 hours</u>

This means that x = 7.5

So, we have:

\mathbf{f(7.5) = 9 \times 7.5 }

\mathbf{f(7.5) = 67.5}

Hence, the amount earned in 7.5 hours is $67.5

How long will it take you to drive 225 miles of the speed of 25 mph
podryga [215]

HEy!!

So you drive 25 miles / hour.

Which is equal to 225 miles / number for hours driven

then 25 miles/ 1 hour  = 225 miles / number  of hours.

distance / speed = time

225 / 25 = time

time = 9

9 miles/hr

If n is a term of the sequence 14, 8, 2, -4, …, which expression would you give the value of n?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

-6n+20

Step-by-step explanation:

The given  term of sequece is  14, 8, 2, -4, …,

Here the first term is 14 and then the terms are decreasing by 6 each time  because 14-8=8-2=...=6

As we know that the nth term of the sequence is given by the formula

t_n=a+(n-1)d\\\text{Substitute the values we get}\\t_n=14+(n-1)(-6)\\t_n=14-6n+6\\t_n=20-6n\\

If n is a term of the given sequence sequence, then its value is -6n+20
