Question

can anyone help me with this rate of change problem?

Answer 1

Two students in your class, Hunter and Maggie, are disputing a function. Hunter says that for the function, between x = -2 and x = 2, the average rate of change is 0. Maggie says that for the function, between x = -2 and x = 2, the graph goes up through a turning point, and then back down. Explain how Hunter and Maggie can both be correct, using complete sentences.

Answer 2

f(x)=-|x|
f(x)=-x^2
both functions go up through a turning point and then back down, while having an average rate of change of 0

Answer 3

sorry for the late response, would that be the answer?
