Question

Helppp :c
Using the graph below, calculate the average rate of change for f(x) from x = 0 to x = 2.


x = −4

x = −2

x = 2

x = 4

Answer 1

@whpalmer4 any ideas?

Answer 2

Never mind I figured it out..

Answer 3

The average rate of change of \(y = f(x)\) between \(x = a\) and \(x =b\) is given by
\[\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\]

That's just the slope of the straight line that connects the points \((a,f(a))\) and \((b,f(b))\)

I hope you got a positive slope in the vicinity of 4 :-) \(x\) has no business being part of the answer, however!
