Use the graph below to answer this question:

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Have you considered finding the value of the function at x = -3 and x = 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. −1 B. −2 C. 1 D. 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im confused on how to do this :(

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Seriously? An AVERAGE of a constant function? It's just 1. Mark C and move on. Never pause on a problem about average rate of change for a constant function.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

for future reference for non-constant functions the formula for avg rate of change is : f(x) - f(a) / x - a

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Of course, you mean [f(x) - f(a)] / (x - a). The parentheses are not optional.
