we have to compute this ratio: \[\Large \frac{{f\left( 7 \right) - f\left( 4 \right)}}{{7 - 4}}\] where: \[\Large f\left( x \right) = {\left( {x - 12} \right)^2} + 9\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, since we have to compute f(4) and f(7). In order to that we have: \[\Large f\left( 4 \right) = {\left( {4 - 12} \right)^2} + 9 = ...?\] please compute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the graph

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please @DaWizjr the helper can not give the direct answer, since the Code of Conduct

k

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok now we have to compute this quantity: \[\Large f\left( 7 \right) = {\left( {7 - 12} \right)^2} + 9 = ...?\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now we have to substitute into that ratio above: \[\Large \frac{{f\left( 7 \right) - f\left( 4 \right)}}{{7 - 4}} = \frac{{34 - 73}}{3} = ...?\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is very simple, what is 34-73=...?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! now, what is -39/3=...?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

perfect! That's your average rate
