I'm lost: The table below represents the volume of a liquid sample as a function of its temperature:
Temp (C) Volume (ml)
x f(x)
11 95
16 100
21 105
26 110
The average rate of change of f(x) between x=11 to x=21 is _____ ml per C ((degrees)) and represents the rate of change of volume per degree rise in temperature.
I'm getting 5 but I think that's too easy; not sure how to start. :-(
