Question

function f(x) = x^4 - 2x^3

What is the average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2?

Answer 1

so the average rate of change is

\[avg ~rate~of ~change ~ = \frac{f(-1) - f(2)}{-1 -2}\]

Answer 2

you are basically finding the slope between the points

(-1, f(-1)) and (2, f(2))

Answer 3

thank you ~
