Question

Calculate the average rate of change for the function f(x) = -x^4 + 4x^3 - 2x^2 + x + 1 from x = 0 to x = 1

Answer 1

@Hero @phi @ilyautumn @amistre64 @CalebBeavers Thanks guys :)

Answer 2

Average rate of change of a function over a given interval \([a,b]\) is given by
\[\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\]
Here, \(a=0\) and \(b=1\).

Answer 3

Oh and here are the answer choices:
0
1
2
7

Answer 4

Well I'm not going to give you the answer. You have what you need to find it for yourself.

Answer 5

Siths explained how to do it.

in your expression, replace x with 1 to find f(1)
replace x with 0 to find f(0)
the top will be f(1) - f(0)
