Could someone help me with this one..? x y 2 0 4 4 6 8 Find the average rate of change for the given function from x = 2 to x = 4. −2 negative one-half one half 2
x= 2, 4, 6 y=0, 4, 8
Please next time, write this in mathematical form. I can't decipher your question.
oops. sorry :///
its a table and the x is 2, 4, and 6 and the y is 0, 4, 8
and it's asking what the rate of change is if it's -2, -1/2, -1/2, and 2
when x = 2, what is y
0
when x = 4, what is y
lol right..? :D
4!
x = 6 and y = 8
good, we don't need to worry about the x = 6 and y = 8 pair
the difference from x = 2 to x = 4 is 2 units (4 - 2 = 2) the difference from y = 0 to y = 4 is 4 units (4 - 0 = 4) divide the two differences to get (y difference)/(x difference) = 4/2 = 2
another way to think of it: the average rate of change is the slope of the line through the two points (2,0) and (4,4)
so my answers 2!
yes it is
THANK YOU SOOO Much!! you're amazing :D
you're welcome
