What is the determinant of m= {5 8 -5 4} ? 20 40 60 80

60

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the matrix;

For a 2-by-2 matrix, the determinant is calculated as;

( product of elements in the leading diagonal) - (product of elements in the other diagonal)

determinant = ( 5*4) - (8*-5)

                     = 20 - (-40) = 60

  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).
