A square picture frame encloses an area of 29 square inches. Its owner claims that the frame sides are between 5.25 and 5.35 inches long. Is the owner correct? Why or why not?

Side length = inches

Side length = 5.3851 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

area for square is given by

here area is given

lets calculate side now

Thus, we see length of side is 5.3851 which is greater than 5.35 and does not fall between 5.25 and 5.35.

Hence , owner is not correct.

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
