To add fractions, find the lcd and then combine =13
The average rate of change of a function f(x) on the interval [a,b] is given by:
f(b) - f(a)
-------------
b-a
In this specific case, a=2 and b = 3.
f(2) = -3 and f(3) = -1.
Thus, the average rate of change here of f(x) on the interval [2,3] is:
-1 - (- 3) 2
------------- = ------------- = 2 (answer)
3-2 1
Log₄(2 – x) = log₄(–5x – 18).
Since the logs have the same basis (4) & are equal then:
(2 – x) = (–5x – 18). . Now solve for x & you will find x = -5
.4 is tenths .42 is hundredths and .422 is thousandths
