OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is the question in your profile pic?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

what is the common rule that fits all of these?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its attached below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jamierox4ev3r im not sure :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry, i read it wrong. i thought it said "question in profile pic lol

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

just take the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok! @K12Questionz

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

http://prntscr.com/6nzsc8 @xapproachesinfinity there really isn't a set slope on this; there appears to be no clear pattern, looking at this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and @xapproachesinfinity im not sure how :(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Average Rate of Change from x = a to x = b \[\Large m = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a}\] I'm using m because this is the slope of the secant line (and the slope of the line through the two points)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

it does not matter they are looking for an average rate fro 3 to 13 so just do the slope

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

by the slope i mean what jim just did

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

oh lol okay, generally slope implies a straight line relating points. But anyhow, you're measuring how much the value of x has changed when f(x) equals 3 and when f(x) equals 13

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

but in the end, that's just a wording issue. It doesn't really matter, you're right

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

we are interested in amount on change (mean) btw two point slope of a curve is about instantaneous change where we consider the slope at a given point

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

of* for on sorry for the language hehehe

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so my point is the average rate of change btw two point is the usual slope of the "line"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay! @xapproachesinfinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and kk, so given the info can you please explain the method for finding the rate of change? :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

jim has given you all just find the f(3) f(13) from the table and evaluate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(3) = 2 And f(13) = 22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 20? :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

20/13-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20/10 = 2 :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

see what jim did above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mind helping with 3 more? :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i'm afraid not :( gotta stuff to do before sleep sorry :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok! thank u:)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

:)
