Question

What is the rate of change for f(x) = 4 sin x − 2 on the interval from x = 0 to x = pi over 2?

Answer 1

@dan815

Answer 2

rate of change = change_in_Y/change_in_X

Answer 3

So how would I do it using that problem?

Answer 4

okay whats the height at x=0?

Answer 5

you are given this equation
f(x) = 4 sin x − 2

Answer 6

your change in height is change in f(x)

Answer 7

Would it be -4?

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

sub in x=0 into that equation

Answer 10

f(x) = 4 sin x − 2
f(0)=4*sin(0)-2 =?

Answer 11

this is what you are basically doing on a graph,
