What is the average rate of change for the quadratic function for the interval from X = 0 to x = 2?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

answer: 12

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice
