What is the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the graph

OpenStudy (luffingsails):

So, to find the rate of change... look at the difference in slope at those two points.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \cfrac{f({\color{brown}{ 4}})-f({\color{brown}{ 0}})}{{\color{brown}{ 4 }}-{\color{brown}{ 0}}}\impliedby slope = \cfrac{rise}{run}\impliedby \textit{average rate of change}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and you can get f(4) and f(0) off the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't understand what you are talking about i have done these kinda problems before but the way you have it set up makes no since

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sense*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and judging from what you told me i guess the answer is 4

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well.... the average rate of change, is exactly what a slope is so, you're really asked to find the slope between those 2 points from the graph from the point that x = 0, and y = whatever to the point x = 4, and y = whatever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 4 ?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... what did you get for f(4) and f(0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know I don't even understand the problem Im just taking an educated guess here.
