Answer:
b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the function 
. We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).
f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2
So, we have the point (2, 1/2)
At point b, f(b) = 1/b.
Let's plug this into the slope formula:
Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).
Now, cross multiply.
Solve for b. Factor using the numbers -4 and -2.
Thus, b=4 or b=2.
However, b=2 is not a possible solution since the interval [2,2] means nothing. Thus, b=4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Sides of the picture added margin:</u>
<u>Solution</u>:
- A(margin) = Total area - A(picture)
- (8 + 2x)(5 + 2x) - 5*8 = 30
- 4x² + 10x + 16x + 40 - 40 - 30 = 0
- 4x² + 26x - 30 = 0
- 2x² + 13x - 15 = 0
- x = (-13 + √(13² + 2*4*15))/4
- x = (-13 + 17)/4
- x = 1 cm
Note. The other root is ignored as negative.
Pears: .92 x 3.75 = $3.45
apples: 1.10 x 2.1 = $2.31
total: $5.76
6X-9=8X+11

So the answer is x=-10
I tried to make is easier for you to understand. (;
Hope it helped.
