Given the function defined in the table below, find the average rate of change, in simplest form, of the function over the interval
20 < x < 65.

Average rate of change =

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change of a function 'f' in the interval a ≤ x ≤ b is given by,

Average rate of change =

We have to find the average rate of change in the interval 20 ≤ x ≤ 65

From the table attached,

f(65) = 32

f(20) = 14

Average rate of change =

                                        =

                                        =

Therefore, average rate of change in the given interval is .

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
