Question

Find the average rate of change of each function on the interval specified.

f(x) = 3x^3 - 1 on (-3,3)

Answer 1

what class?

Answer 2

|f(-3)-f(3)|/6

Answer 3

avg rate of change = slope
\[slope = \frac{f(3) -f(-3)}{3-(-3)}\]

Answer 4

since this is an even function, and its centered at 0, it will have 0 avg v

Answer 5

ahh, ok then just use the formula I showed
d=r*t
r=d/t
distance is given by |f(-3)-f(3)| and t is 6 because that's |3-(-3)|

Answer 6

Is it really centered at 0?

Answer 7

he said it was x^2 first.
