Consider the function f(x) =x^2+3 and find the following:

The average rate of change between (-1,f(-1)) and (2,f(2))

Question

Consider the function f(x) =x^2+3 and find the following:

The average rate of change between (-1,f(-1)) and (2,f(2))

hero · Answer

Average rate of change of this function means to find the points by finding the values for f(-1) and f(2), drawing a line between them and calculating the slope of that line. . When you find the slope of the line you drew, it will be the average rate of change between the points.

would it be 1? then would i plug it into the f(x) =x^2+3? im confused
