Consider the function f(x)=−5x−8 and find the following: a) the average rate of change between the points (−1,f(−1)) and (3,f(3)) . b) the average rate of change between the points (a, f(a)) and (b, f(b)) . c) the average rate of change between the points (x, f(x)) and (x+h, f(x+h)) .

a. -5

b.-5

c.-5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the average rate of change of a function , we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.

Generally, the average rate of change (ARC) on an ecuatios  between two points (x1,f(x1)) and (x2,f(x2)) is

In case a)

f(-1)= -5*(-1)-8=5-8= -3          f(3)= -5*3-8= -23

Then ARC= (-23-(-3))/(3-(-1))=-20/4=-5

In case b)

f(a)= (-5a-8)

f(b)= (-5b-8)

Then ARC= [(-5b-8)-(-5a-8)]/(b-a)= (-5b+5a)/(b-a)= -5(b-a)/(b-a)= -5

In case c)

f(x)= -5x-8

f(x+h)= -5(x+h)-8= -5x-5h-8

then ARC= [(-5x-5h-8)-(-5x-8)]/(x+h-x) =-5h/h= -5

31 v bucks

step-by-step explanation:

since you bought 25 on friday and 6 on tuesday, you can just add them up.

25+6=31

check your work.

31-6=25

i hope this !
