Find the slope of the secant line for f(x) = -x^2 + 20

It is saturday morning and jeremy has discovered he has a leak coming from the water heater in his attic. since plumbers charge extra to come out on the weekends, jeremy is planning to use buckets to catch the dripping water. he places a bucket under the drip and steps outside to walk the dog. in half an hour the bucket is 1/5 of the way full. what is the rate at which the water is leaking per hour?

Hell . what are the solutions to `10x^2 - 38x - 8 = 0`? is this when i find the factors and use the numbers within the factors to determine the zeros? i hope that made sense lol

Sketch the vector field vector f( vector r ) = 8vector r in the xy-plane. select all that apply. the length of each vector is 8. the lengths of the vectors decrease as you move away from the origin. all the vectors point away from the origin. all the vectors point in the same direction. all the vectors point towards the origin. the lengths of the vectors increase as you move away from the origin.
