Calculate the average rate of change of the given function over the given interval. f(x) = x^2 − 3; [8, 9]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rate of change that sounds like a derivative....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well find it first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I also know that the rate of change at a point is finding the derivative and plugging in that point but in here we have a interval so points between 8 and 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what I think you can do is find the rate of change at 8 and 9 and find the average

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for both
