OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the average rate of change from x=-5 to x=1, is basically slope of a secant over that interval. you are just asked to find the (linear) slope from x=-5 to x=1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \Delta y/\Delta x~~~\Rightarrow~~~~~ \rm {\bf [}~f(-5)-f(1)~{\bf ]}~/~ {\bf [}~-5-1~{\bf ]} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \frac{\LARGE f(-5)-f(1)}{\LARGE -5-1} =? }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

wait, you have: f(-5)=1 f(1) = -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/6

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

1 - -1 ------ = ? -5 - 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/-6

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, and that is same as?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(reduce the fraction()

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/3?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

well done!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more question man?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you got: \(\large\color{slate}{ f(x)=\log_2(x+6) }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{slate}{y=\log_2(x+6) }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{slate}{x=\log_2(y+6) }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2 is that right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Keep disconnecting excuse me

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

There is a rule: \(\Large\color{slate}{\log_{A}B=C~~~~~~\Rightarrow~~~~~A^C=B}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you have: \(\large\color{slate}{x=\log_2(y+6)}\) apply the above rule to this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^6=y

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

your A is 2 your B is (y+6) your C is x

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{slate}{2^x=y+6}\) like this

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

solve for y, can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Soloman thanks for your time, ive found the answer have a great day sir!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

ok, sure, but what was your answer?
