what is the correct order of the functions from least to greatest according to the rate of change on the interval from x=-1 to x=3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help to check my answer for this one.

@dtan5457 can you please help check my answers for a few questions?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Well what did you put?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rate of change for these functions that i got are : f(x)=0.5 h(x)=12 g(x)=-0.5 so the order i got from least to greatest according to the rate of change on the interval from x=-1 to x=3 are: g(x) f(x) and h(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

g(x)=0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 0.5 fpr g(x)? this is what i did: y2-y1/x2-x1 = 2-0/-1-3=2/4 = -0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

f(x)=8.5x for g(x) your two points are -1,-2 and 3,0 -2/-4=0.5x

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

plus the linear line is clearly going upwards as a slope so the slope can't be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhh, i just checked the g(x) you were right. but how did you get f(x)=8.5? this is what i did: y2-y1/x2-x1=4-2/3-(-1)=2/3+1=2/4=0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

You plug the x values of -1 and 3 into the function to get the y output. i got the two points -1,2 3, 34 opps, f(x)=8, not 8.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ok i got it this is how i redid it: y2-y1/x2-x1=34-2/3-(-1)=32/3+1=32/4=8 is this right?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

looks good man

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about h(x) ? did i do it correctly?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yeah h(x) is good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my final answer for the order from least to greatest would be g(x) f(x) and h(x) ?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me check 3 more?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

your gonna have to post them separately, but yeah sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

totally and thanks
