Question

What is the rate of change from x = 0 to x = pi over 2?

Answer 1

negative pi over 6

negative 6 over pi

pi over 6

6 over pi

Answer 2

true

Answer 3

6 over pi

Answer 4

well the function values are

f(0) = 0 f(pi/2) = 3

so the rate of change is

\[\frac{f(\frac{\pi}{2}) - f(0)}{\frac{\pi}{2} - 0}\]

Answer 5

the rate of change is (y1-y0)/(x1-x0), looking at the plot, we get (3 - 0)/(pi/2 - 0) = 6/pi

Answer 6

rate of change in this question is just asking for the slope of the line segment joining

(0, 0) and (pi/2, 3)

Answer 7

Okay thanks! So it'd be 6/pi right?

Answer 8

correct

Answer 9

THANKS! You guys are the best!!!
