Answer 1

\[\frac{ f(1)-f(-1) }{ 1-(-1) }\]

Answer 2

Hmm it would be 1 then correct?

Answer 3

idk... didn't compute it

Answer 4

Im not sure how to sovlve the top

Answer 5

evaluate the function at the given x value

Answer 6

\[f(1) = (1)^4+3(1)^2-5(1)^2+2(1)-2\]

Answer 7

4-5+2-2

Answer 8

-1
