Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2 − 3x + 1

f'(x) = 6x^2 + 2x − 3

The slope at -2:

f'(-2) = 6(-2)^2 + 2(-2) − 3

f'(-2) = 24 + -4 − 3

f'(-2) = 17

-----

The slope at 0:

f'(0) = 6(0)^2 + 2(0) − 3

f'(0) =  − 3

The average rate of change is (17+(-3))/2, or 14/2, or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In calculus, the derivative corresponds to the slope of the tangent line at a point on a function of which also indicates the concept of an instantaneous rate of change. However, by its definition, a tangent line is a line that intersects the function at only one point at which its slope would be impossible to be determined analytically using analytical geometry.

In analytic geometry, the slope of a line passing through two given points (x_{1}, \ f(x_{1})) and (x_{2}, \ f(x_{2})) on the function f(x) , also known as a secant line, is evaluated by the formula

                                          \text{slope} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{f(x_{2}) \ - \ f(x_{1})}{x_{2} \ - \ x_{1}}.

In the case of the slope of a tangent line, x_{1} \ = \ x_{2} and therefore f(x_{1}) \ = \ f(x_{2}). Plugging this consensus into the formula above, yields

                                                      \text{slope} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{0}{0},

which is an indeterminate form where the slope is undefined.

Therefore, we can only approximate the slope of a tangent line using the secant line and evaluate the corresponding slope when one of the two points on the function moves closer and closer towards the other point but will not be equal to each other.

Hence, contrary to the tangent line, a secant line shows the average rate of change between two distinct points on the provided function.

Therefore, the average rate of change from the point x = -2 to the point x = 0 is

    rate_{avg} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\left[2(0)^{3} \ + \ (0)^{2} \ - \ 3(0) \ + \ 1\right] \ - \ \left[2(-2)^{3} \ + \ (-2)^{2} \ - \ 3(-2) \ + \ 1\right]}{0 \ - \ (-2)} \\ \\ rate_{avg} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{1 \ - \ (-5)}{2} \\ \\ rate_{avg} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{6}{2} \\ \\ rate_{avg} \ = \ 3.

Answer:

d(x)=-750x^2-3750x-10500

Step-by-step explanation:

The manager of a department store uses the given function to model the monthly opening inventory of down comforters at the store, in dollars, where x represents the number of months from September.

d(x)=-750(x^2-5x-14)

To rewrite this hat reveals the store's opening inventory of down comforters in the month of September, multiply -750 on the bracket, we get

d(x)=-750x^2-3750x-10500

A boy purchased​ (bought) a​ party-length sandwich 51 in. long. He wants to cut it into three pieces so that the middle piece is
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a 51 in sandwich

let a piece be x

we have x= shorter piece

another piece is x+6

another piece (x+6)-9=x-3

x+x+6+x-3=51

3x=51-3

3x=48

x=48/3=16

x=16, longer piece is 16+6=22, shorter piece =10
