Question

Help Please! (:
Consider the function f(x) = 2x^3-6 x^2-48x+2 on the interval [ -5 , 10 ]. Find the average or mean slope of the function on this interval.

Answer 1

determine f(-5) and f(10), and subtract them to find the distance between them

then divide that result by the difference between -5 and 10

Answer 2

in other words, find the slope of a line between 2 points

Answer 3

how do I find the slope between the points? @amistre64
