Aflock of 20 seagulls merges with a flock of cardinals. the new flock is bigger than either of the original ones, but still, it is no larger than 100 birds. how many birds were in the flock of cardinals?

There are 80 birds in the flock of cardinals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of seagulls in a flock = 20

Total number of birds of new flock = 100

To find out the number of birds in cardinals we have to subtract number of seagull in flock from total number of birds of new flock.

Number of birds in cardinal = Total number of birds of new flock - Number of seagulls in a flock

Number of birds in cardinal =

Hence there are 80 birds in the flock of cardinals.

  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).
