0 ≤ x ≤ 18-3.33Further explanation

The domain of a function is the set of values of the independent variable for which a function is defined. The domain is located along the x-axis where the graph is defined from the starting point to the endpoint.

From the graph, we can see that:

the horizontal axis is the amount of time (in minutes)the vertical axis is the number of bacteria (in thousands)(0, 60) is a y-intercept(18, 0) is an x-intercept

Also from the graph, we can observe that the values of x start from x = 0 to x = 18.

Thus the domain of the function is $\boxed{ \ [0, 18] \ or \ 0 \leq x \leq 18 \ }$

The formula for the average rate of change on a given interval [a, b] is as follows:

$\boxed{ \ \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} \ }$

Because the domain of the function is [0, 18], we prepare:

$\boxed{(0, 60) \ as \ (a, f(a))}$ and $\boxed{(18, 0) \ as \ (b, f(b))}$

And now, let us solve for the average rate of change across the domain.

$\boxed{ \ \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{0 - 60}{18 - 0} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{- 60}{18} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = -3.33 \ }}$

Note that the y-values change down 3.33 units in thousands every time the x-values change 1 unit in minutes, at intervals of the domain.

We conclude that from t = 0 to t = 18 (in minutes), every 1 minute as many as 3.33 thousand bacteria decay.

Answer from: Quest

In the first triangle 80+20+p=180 (since sum of all angles of a triangle is 180)so p= 80also in second triangle 55+45+q=180 (since sum of all angles of a triangle is 180)so q=80so we can conclude that p=80 degrees q=80 degrees so p=q=80 degreeshence option b is correct

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.
