For this case we have the following expression:

The first step is to solve the quadratic term.
We have then:

Then, the second step is to subtract both resulting numbers:

We observe that the result obtained is a negative number.
Answer:
The result of the expression is given by:

Zach time of reading every weekend forms a sequence with these terms: 10, 20, 40, 80. On the other hand, that of Victoria forms a sequence with terms: 35, 50, 65, 80. By keenly observing the sequences, Zach's sequence is a geometric sequence with a common ratio equal to 2 and Victoria's sequence is an arithmetic or linear sequence with a common difference of 15. Thus, the answer is letter B.
Area means times so wouldn’t it just be 6 times 8 which is 48?!
Average rate of change = [H(100) - H(80)] / (100 - 80)
H(100) = 0.003(100)^2 + 0.07(100) - 0.027 = 0.003(10000) + 0.07(100) - 0.027 = 30 + 7 - 0.027 = 36.973
H(80) = 0.003(80)^2 + 0.07(80) - 0.027 = 0.003(6400) + 0.07(80) - 0.027 = 19.2 + 5.6 - 0.027 = 24.773
Average rate of change = (36.973 - 24.773)/(100 - 80) = 12.2/20 = 0.61
Answer: B
