At the first stop, 17 people got off the bus. Now there
are 35 people on the bus.
How
mony were on the
bus to begin win?

There were 52 people on the bus to begin with.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 17 people got off and 35 were remaining then you have to add 17 + 35 = 52

17+35=52

Step-by-step explanation:

AT BEGNING THERE WERE 52 people on bus so when the 17 people got off the bus on first stop only 35 remained.

  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).
