Answer
Choice D
Company 2 is greater in avg rate of change by $750
=======================================
Explanation:
Average rate of change is the same as slope through two points. The two points are the endpoints of the interval.
The x values we'll use is x = 0 and x = 12 since it constitutes the first 12 years (12-0 = 12)
For company 1, if x = 0 and x = 12, then y = 12000 and y = 30000 respectively. The two points (0,12000) and (12,30000) are on the graph for company 1
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (30000-12000)/(12-0)
m = 18000/12
m = 1500
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 1 is 1500
For company 2, the points (0,15000) and (12,42000) are on the graph
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (42000-15000)/(12-0)
m = (27000)/(12)
m = 2250
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 2 is 2250
Now find the difference in the slopes
2250-1500 = 750
Company 2's rate of change is larger by $750
So that's why the answer is choice D. Over this timespan, company 2 is growing faster on average compared to company 1
Answer: Length = 13 ft. , Width = 9 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle area = Length x width
Area = 117 ft.
Length = x + 4
Width = x
To solve
(x)(x + 4) = 117
x^2 + 4x = 117
x^2 + 4x - 117 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 13)
x = 9, -13
x = 9 <em>(measurement cannot be negative)</em>
Length
x + 4
9 + 4 = 13
Answer:
1.9 is greater than 1.39 if that's what your asking?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent amounts invested at 6% and 9%, respectively.
y = 3x +58 . . . . . . . the amount invested at 9%
0.06x +0.09y = 1097.19 . . . . . . total interest earned
__
Substituting for y, we have ...
0.06x +0.09(3x +58) = 1097.19
0.33x + 5.22 = 1097.19 . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.33x = 1091.97 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5.22
x = 3309 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.33
y = 3(3309) +58 = 9985
$3309 is invested at 6%; $9985 is invested at 9%.
