Question

What is the correct order of the functions from least to greatest according to the average rate of change on the interval from x = -1 to x = 3

Answer 1

What is the correct order of the functions from least to greatest according to the average rate of change on the interval from x = -1 to x = 3?

Answer 2

find the slope of the line between the endpoints of the stated interval, for each function

Answer 3

can you help

Answer 4

only you know what a slope formula is ....

Answer 5

only **if you know ...

Answer 6

if we are given 2 points, how do we calculate the slope between them?

Answer 7

i dont know can you please just show me how to solve this problem

Answer 8

you will have to find us something called a "slope formula", there is not much to do without it.

Answer 9

as a shortcut, we only need the top of it tho, unless they want they actual slopes ... but this is jsut asking to order them

Answer 10

y2-y1 over x2-x1

Answer 11

good, now since they all have the same x2-x1, we can ignore that part and just work out y2-y1

Answer 12

what is: h(3) - h(-1) ??

Answer 13

4

Answer 14

hmm, lets make sure you know how to read the notation then

h(x) is a function named "h" which depends on the value of x for its output.

look in the table for the function of h, and what is our output when x=3? and when x=-1?
