Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Th average rate of change is the slope of the secant line that goes through those 2 values of x. Of course, each value of x also has a value of y. The coordinates for these combinations of x's and y's are:
(-1, 5) and (4, 0). We can use the slope formula to find the average rate of change of this function without having to know what the function's equation is:
So the average rate of change, aka slope, between those 2 points is -1
These are two questions and two answers:
Question 1:
<span>A
quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe
the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show
your work.
Answer: </span><span>The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Explanation:
1) With radicand the statement means the disciminant of the quadratic function.
2) The discriminant is: b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c
3) Then, for 3x² - 15x + 20, a = 3, b = - 15, and c = 20
and the discriminant (radicand) is: (-15)² - 4(3)(20) = 225 - 240 = - 15.
4) The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Question 2:
Part B: Solve 3x^2 + 5x − 8 = 0 by using an appropriate
method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the
method used.
Answer: </span> two solutions x = 1 and x = - 8/3x
Explanation:
1) I choose factoring (you may use the quadratic formula if you prefer)
2) Factoring
Given: 3x² + 5x − 8 = 0
Make 5x = 8x - 3x: 3x² + 8x - 3x - 8 = 0
Group: (3x² - 3x) + (8x - 8) = 0
Common factors for each group: 3x(x -1) + 8(x - 1) = 0
Coomon factor x - 1: (x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0
The two solutions are for each factor equal to zero:
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = -8/3
Those are the two solutions. x = 1 and x = - 8/3
The standard forrm equation of the circle is (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²
where h,k : x,y-coordinate of the center
r : radius of the circle
Get the center of the circle : h = (x1 + x2)/2 = (9+5)/2 = 7
k = (y1 + y2)/2 = (4+2)/2 = 3
=> the center is (7,3)
Because the given information gave 2 endpoints so we can choose one of these, then use the distance formula to get the radius
r = √(x1 - h)² + (y1 - k)²
r = √(9 - 7)² + (4 - 3)²
r = √2² + 1²
r = √5
Finally, the equation of the circle is (x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = (√5)²
(x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = 5
