Question

How do you find the average rate of change for a function??? help!

Answer 1

use the equation:
f(b) - f(a) / b - a

Answer 2

Correction: it's called a formula, sorry.

Answer 3

Average rate of a function:

Example:f(x) = 2x + 7

The average rate of f from x = 3 to x = 7 is
(f(7) - f(3))/(7-3)

Answer 4

average rate of change can be over the whole graph or just a specified portion. it is essentially your slope at the examined portion or whole of the line

Answer 5

here is the actual problem

Answer 6

f(2) = 5
f(-1) = -1

Average rate of change is (5 - (-1))/(2 - (-1))
= 6/3 = 2
