How do I find the average mean slope??

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[f(x) = 8\sqrt{x} + 2\] on interval [3,8]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

f(b) - (fa)/b-a?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

anyone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it is \(\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}\)

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay so is that \[\frac{ 18\sqrt{2} - 10\sqrt{3} }{ 5}\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

I feel like that is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get \(\displaystyle\frac{8}{5}(2 \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})\)

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay, is there more I can simplify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are not equal. You made a mistake somewhere.
