Question

A function is given below. Determine the average rate of change of the function between x = -3 and x = -3 + h. g(x)=-10/x

Answer 1

average rate of change
{g(-3+h)- g(-3)}/ h

Answer 2

does it make sense?

Answer 3

i know the formula but some how the answer that i get is wrong... I just need help working it out

Answer 4

so let's do the calculation here or post ur work here.

Answer 5

i got \[(-10/(-3+h))-(5/3)/(h)\]

Answer 6

g(-3)=10/3

Answer 7

g(-3+h)= -10/(-3+h)

Answer 8

i see that the g(-3) is one thing i got wrong

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

then after i calculated it again i got \[ \frac{ -h }{ -9+3h }\]

Answer 11

which is still wrong :/

Answer 12

{-10/(-3+h) -10/3} /h
=-10/h { 1/(-3+h) +1/3 }
=-10/h [ h/ {(-3+h) 3}]
= -10/{(-3+h)3}

Answer 13

i also got that and it's saying its wrong?

Answer 14

u got -h/ (-9+3h)
but I got 10/(9-3h)

Answer 15

what's the correct answer?

Answer 16

i kept putting in extra negatives...

Answer 17

and btw i am doing my homework through a website that auto checks my work and i have 5 tries to get it right
