An electronics manufacturer recently created a new version of a popular device. It also created this function to represent the p

rofit, P(x), in tens of thousands of dollars, that the company will earn based on manufacturing x thousand devices: P(x) = -0.16x2 + 21.6x – 400.
Q: The average rate of change of a function over a given interval can be determined by finding the slope of the line that connects the two points on the function representing the endpoints of the interval. Find the average rate of change of the function from part d over the interval [60, 80].?

Since we are given no other function, we have to assume that P(x) is the "function from part d".

The average rate of change of P(x) on the interval [60, 80] is given by
  rate of change = (P(80) - P(60))/(80 - 60) = (304 -320)/20 = -0.8

The average rate of change of P(x) over [60, 80] is -0.8.


_____
Units of the rate of change are ($10k)/(1k units) = $10/unit. That is, the profit drops on average $8 per unit on that interval.

Alborosie

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

That is true because the square root of 32 is about 5.66, so 4.65 IS less than it.

A tree is 117 inches tall. How tall is it in feet and inches?<br> ?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

9 ft and 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 12 inches in a foot

1ft = 12in

2ft = 24 in

3ft = 36 in

4ft = 48

and so on

9 ft = 108 inches which is the closes to 117.

So we have 9 ft

subtract 117 from 108, which is 9 inches left over
