Answer:
x is equal to 2.5 and -4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(x + 1)² - 3 = -51
-4(x² + 2x + 1) - 3 = -51
-4x² - 8x -3 - 3 = -51
-4x² - 8x - 6 = -51
-4x² - 8x = -45
-4(x^2 + 2x) = -45
-4(x^2 + 2x + 1) = -49
-4(x + 1)² = -49
(x + 1)² = 49/4
x + 1 = ± √(49/4)
x + 1 = ± 7/2
x = -1 ± 3.5
x = 2.5, -4.5
Answer: 16,17,18
Step-by-step explanation: 16,17,18 are consecutive numbers and when you add them up the equal 51
(10 + 14 + 8 + 16 + 12 + x ) /6 = 13
(60 + x) / 6 = 13
60 + x = 13 * 6
60 + x = 78
x = 78 - 60
x = 18 <=====
The rate of change for function A is 2. It would originally be 2 over one but you can just simplify it down to 2. The rate of change for function B is 3. Which would also originally be 3 over 1.
