definition of the difference quotient of a function

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference quotient is a measure of the average rate of change of the function over an interval (in this case, an interval of length h). The limit of the difference quotient (i.e., the derivative) is thus the instantaneous rate of change.

To find the perimeter you need to add the sides of the triangles and the question says that the perimeters of the triangles are equal. So,...

(2x+4)+(2x)+(2x+3)=(3x+1)+(2x)+(2x)

2x+4+2x+2x+3=3x+1+2x+2x

4+2x+3=3x+1

7+2x=3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

All others have higher factors than 4

Answer:

B,(4,8) &C,(8,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

A,(2,4)=2=2

4=2^2(GCF of 2&4 is 2)

B,(4,8)=4=2^2

8=2^3(GCF of 4&8 is 4)

C,(8,12)=8=2^3

12=2^2*3(GCF of 8&12 is 4)

D,(8,16)=8=2^3

16=2^4(GCF of 8&16 is 8)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explaining the Basic Concept:

This is a piecewise function, which means that it is made up of several different functions which all have different domains

In this question, we have 3 'pieces' in our piecewise function

the domain of each piece is:

1.   x < -1

2.  -1 ≤ x ≤ 2

3.  x > 2

we will use the function related with the respective domain

Finding the values of the function:

h(-4)

Here, our input value is -4

we notice that -4 is in part of the first domain

therefore, -4 is in the domain of the first function

So, we will use the first function

h(x) = -(x/4) + 2           (for x < -1)

replacing x with -4

h(-4) = -(-4/4) + 2

h(-4) = 1 + 2

h(-4) = 3

h(1):

Here, our input value is 1

we notice that 1 is a part of the second domain

Hence, 1 is in the domain of the second function

So, we will use the second function

h(x) = -(x-1)² + 2            (for -1 ≤ x ≤ 2)

replacing x with 1

h(1) = -(1-1)² + 2

h(1) = -(0)² + 2

h(1) = 2

h(2):

Here, out input value is 2

We notice that 2 is a part of the second domain

Hence, 2 is a part of the domain of the second function

So, we will use the second function

h(x) = -(x-1)² + 2            (for -1 ≤ x ≤ 2)

replacing x with 2

h(2) = -(2-1)² + 2

h(2) = -(1)² + 2

h(2) = - 1 + 2

h(2) = 1

Therefore:

h(-4) = 3

h(1) = 2

h(2) = 1

Problem 1

Answer:  Choice B) x = -2

------------------

Explanation:

Add the equations straight down.

The x terms add to 5x+(-3x) = 2x

The y terms cancel out since 3y+(-3y) = 0y = 0

The right hand sides add to -7+3 = -3

After adding the equations you should get 2x = -4 which solves to x = -2

=====================================================

Problem 2

Answer:  y = 4

------------------

Explanation:

Since 5x = 0, this means x = 0 after dividing both sides by 5.

Use this to find y

y = -4x+4

y = -4(0)+4

y = 4

If you want the value of z, then

x = -3y+z+6

0 = -3(4)+z+6

0 = z-6

6 = z

z = 6

which of the following describes controlled variables
A what you change for testing
B what you keep the same
C what you measure

Answers

Answer:

b, controlled variables are constant and unchanged

Answer: B) What you keep the same

A controlled variable is what is held constant. When doing an experiment, it is ideal to only focus on one variable at a time while keeping everything else in check. This way you can compare two items effectively.

In contrast, a manipulated variable is one that is intentionally changed to see how it affects the subject. For example, if you're testing various fertilizers, then the fertilizer brand would be the manipulated variable. The soil, moisture, amount of sunlight, and other environmental factors are kept the same (each subject gets the same about of each) making them to be controlled variables.

Answer:

The answer is $100.40

Step-by-step explanation:

ok. their are 14 members. 6 members payed their dues in week 1. so, subtract 6 from 14.    14 - 6 = 8.    Now, the due is $12.55. 8 members payed their dues in week 2, so multiply 8 by 12.55.     8 x 12.55 = 100.50    the answer SHOULD be $100.50 i would think, but there is not an option for that. so, i would pick option 4, because that is .10 off from 100.50.
