What are the possible values of x if (4x - 5)2 = 49? Check all that apply.
uw we we

x = - , x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(4x - 5)² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )

4x - 5 = ± = ± 7 ( add 5 to both sides )

4x = 5 ± 7, thus

4x = 5 - 7 = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = = -

or

4x = 5 + 7 = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 3

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.

x = -

left side = (- 2 - 5)² = (- 7)² = 49 = right side ⇒ solution

x = 3

left side = (12 - 5)² = 7² = 49 = right side ⇒ solution

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
