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.

Alina has 15x + 12 yards of ribbon. She uses 6x - 3 yards for a project. How many yards does she have left?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

-1.66666666667 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

15x+12=6x-3

subtract 6x on both sides

9x+12=-3

subtract 12 on both sides

9x=-15

x=-1.6666666666667

In this line of ,the ratio of red circles to blue circles is 1:3 , How many more red circles would need to be added to make the
avanturin [10]

8 more red circles because if you have 9 red circles and 3 blue ones the ratio would be 9:3 and if you simplify that down to 3:1 that’s the answer. So you would need to add 8 more red circles
