Question

Find the average rate of change of h (x)=-x^2+5x+2 from x=3 to x=6
simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

Well, to solve this, graph the function.

Answer 2

H(3)=1 I think not 100% sure though

Answer 3

When x =3, y = 8. and when x=6, y = -5

Answer 4

Basically it's asking for Slope (rate of change) from (3,8) and (6,-5)

Answer 5

Slope formula = \[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

Answer 6

-5-3/ 6-3 right?

Answer 7

I mean 6-8

Answer 8

No, -5-8/6-3

Answer 9

I got -13/3

Answer 10

Yes, and that will be the answer since it cannot be simplified further

Answer 11

Thank you very much, I will use these notes in the future :)

Answer 12
