(Please Help!) Find the average rate of change of f(x)=x^3-5x+2 part a.) from -3 to -2 part b.) from -1 to 3 part c.) from 3 to 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can u find f'(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I am extremely stuck.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U know how to find derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then FIND derivative of f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 3x^2-5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)=x^3-5x+2 f'(x)=3x^2-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, not how do I find the average rate of change from point A to point B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For i) {f'(-3)+f'(-2)}/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can u find that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hang on, let me attempt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5f/2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How u got that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@megan163728 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried it again and got the same thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did {f(-3)+f(-2)}/2
