The average rate of change on the interval -3 <= x <= 4 is? f(-3 ) = 45 f(4 ) = 31

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{f(4)-f(-3)}{4-(-3)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7?

myininaya (myininaya):

formula for slope is also the formula for average rate of change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you plug in the 45 and 31 for the f(x)s?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is just 7?

myininaya (myininaya):

you are given f(4) which is 31 and f(-3) which is 45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the equation should look like this 31-(45)

myininaya (myininaya):

the expression is \[\frac{31-45}{4-(-3)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-14/7 is the anwser?

myininaya (myininaya):

which can be simplified to ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

myininaya (myininaya):

what about the negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 then

myininaya (myininaya):

yes! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
