1 answer:

4 0

$\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ A(-5,4)\qquad B(7,-4)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{1:3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{P}}{\underline{P} B} = \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{1}{3}\implies 3A=1B\implies 3(-5,4)=1(7,-4)$

$(\stackrel{x}{-15}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{12})=(\stackrel{x}{7}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-4})\implies P=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{-15 +7}}{1+3}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{12 -4}}{1+3} \right)} \\\\\\ P=\left( \cfrac{-8}{4}~~,~~\cfrac{8}{4} \right)\implies P=(-2~~,~~2)$

A bald eagle. It’s higher and the analogue value, distance away from the ocean is closer to zero, so it’s closer to sea level

Given g(x) = −3x + 4

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The average rate of change of g from x = a to x = a + h is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

$g(x) = -3x + 4$

And we want to determine its average rate of change of the function for x = a and x = a + h.

To determine the average rate of change, we find the slope of the function between the two points. In other words:

$\displaystyle \text{Avg} = \frac{g(a + h) - g(a) }{(a + h ) - a}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \text{Avg} &= \frac{g(a + h) - g(a) }{(a + h ) - a} \\ \\ &=\frac{(-3(a+h) + 4) - (-3a+4)}{h} \\ \\ &= \frac{(-3a -3h + 4) + (3a - 4) }{h} \\ \\ &= \frac{-3h}{h} \\ \\ &= -3\end{aligned}$

In conclusion, the average rate of change of g from x = a to x = a + h is -3.

This is the expected result, as function g is linear, so its rate of change would be constant.

Answerrr?? What is the answer to these two questions?..

asambeis [7]

15. 16 yards. Add side a (2 yds.) and b (6 yds.), divide by 2 and then multiply by the height (4 yds.)

16. I believe it would be 48 m. find the area of each rectangle and then add it. (6x2)+(12x3) -> 12+36= 48 square meters.

Hope it helps! -cat
