Answer:
both rates of change equal the slope of the line (3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a)
We calculate the rate of change using the formula:
for the first interval [0,6], we calculate the y-values at x=0 and x=6;
at x=0 : 
at x=6 : 
therefore, the rate of change in this interval is: 
For the second interval [-4,4], we calculate the y-values at x=-4 and x=4;
at x=-4 : 
at x=4 : 
therefore, the rate of change in this interval is: 
Part b):
Notice that both rates of change equal the value of the slope of the linear function (3/2)
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = - 
, thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 5, 8) into the partial equation
8 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 8 - 1 = 7
y = - x + 7 ← in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 5
5y = - x + 35 ( add x to both sides )
x + 5y = 35 ← in standard form → a
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
Volume of a cylinder = pi * r^2 * h
Volume of a cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
Total Height = 47
Height of the cone = 12
Height of the cylinder = 35
If the top half is filled with sand, then:
volume (sand) = pi * 4^2 * 36
volume (cone) = 1/3 * pi * 4^2 * 12
Total volume = 1960.353816 cubic millimeters
353816 / (10 * pi) = 62.4 seconds.
It will take 62.4 seconds until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass.
5 because I believe I think I believe it’s 5 I believe yea it’s 5 definitely
