Robert and elaine ran around the high school track during gym class. robert ran 1/2 of the way around the track in 5/6 minute. later in the day, elaina ran 3/4 of the way around the track in 9/10 minute. when they meet after school, robert claims that he can run father in a minute than elaina. is he correct or incorrect? explain your reasoning. unpack the problem: make a plan: solution: look back and explain:

Answer

Incorrect

Explanation

Unpack the problem:

Let the distance round the track to be X.

Speed is the ratio of distance to time.

Robert run a distance of (1/2)x

Elaine run a distance of (3/4)x

Make a plan:

Finding the speed of each.

Compare their speeds to determine who ran faster than who.

Solution:

Robert's speed =(1/2)x/(5/6)

=1/2×6/5x

= (3/5)x

= 0.6x

Elaine's speed = (3/4)x/(9/10)

= (3/4)×(10/9)x

= (5/6)x

= 0.83333x

Elaine ran faster than Robert.

Look back and explain:

0.83333x > 0.6x

Elaine's speed is higher than Robert's speed.

This shows that Elaine ran faster than Robert.

  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).
