Step-by-step explanation:

For x > 0, the function f(x) is ...

  f(x) = 3x -4 . . . . . . . . for x > 0

Translating this down 1 unit makes it ...

  g(x) = f(x) -1 = 3x -5

The rate of change for any interval such that x > 0 in the whole interval is the coefficient of x: 3.

The rate of change on the interval is 3.

__

If you like, you can find the rate of change from ...

  m = (g(5) -g(2))/(5 -2) = (10 -1)/3 = 9/3 = 3

The rate of change is 3.

step-by-step explanation:

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
