Hi there!
a. 8x^2 - 1
(x^2 - 4x + 5) + (7x^2 + 4x - 6)
= x^2 + 7x^2 - 4x + 4x - 1
= 8x^2 - 1
b. 5x^2 + 7x - 7
(7x^2 + 4x - 6) - (2x^2 - 3x + 1)
= 7x^2 + 4x - 6 - 2x^2 + 3x - 1
= 7x^2 - 2x^2 + 4x + 3x - 6 - 1
= 5x^2 + 7x -7
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Antwanun waters his lawn 3 times a week, he watered his lawn 24 . So what you will need to do is divide 3 in 24 to find how many weeks he has been watering his lawn, You get 8. Mr. Antwanun has been watering for 8 weeks. Equation- Antuwantun waters his lawn 3 times a week so if he watered his lawn 24 times, 3 times a week he would have been watering his lawn for 8 weeks.
The average rate of change of <em>g(x)</em> over the interval [2, 8] is given by
(<em>g</em> (8) - <em>g</em> (2)) / (8 - 2)
In other words, it's the slope of the line through the points (2, <em>g</em> (2)) and (8, <em>g</em> (8)).
Use the definition of the function to evaluate it at the points in the numerator:
• 8 ≥ 4, so using the second piece, <em>g</em> (8) = -0.5(8) + 8 = 4
• 2 < 4, so <em>g</em> (2) = 5(2) + 1 = 11
Then the average rate of change is
(<em>g</em> (8) - <em>g</em> (2)) / (8 - 2) = (4 - 11) / 6 = -7/6
It doesn't change because to add fractions, you need a common denominator. To find it, they multiplied 1/3 by 2 to make 2/6, to add to the 3/6.
