Question

Anyone able to explain to me on how to find the average rate ?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ y_{2}-y_{1} }{ x_{2}-x_{1} }\]

Answer 2

Isn't that how to find this slop -_-? Not average @caozeyuan? A bit confusing, mind elaborating?

Answer 3

but say they give you x=4 and x=7 what am i ment to do with that information?

Answer 4

slope*

Answer 5

What do you mean inparticular in the 'average rate'? in graphing terms?>

Answer 6

this is what is asked "using complete sentences explain how to find the average rate of change for f(x) from x=4 to x+7"

Answer 7

not sure how to start from there?

Answer 8

Oh, so, it may be in slope terms. If so, use that formula we said above. This might help.

They both explain it more accurate than I would, however, I may ask, is there a picture associated?

Answer 9

no there is not this is apart of a more complex piece. this is one of the last things it asks for that stumped me. I had to create a quadratic function f(x) in vertex form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+4 using my birth date. and this is used through out my piece. Now I had another problem if i may ask you? I have tried to get help but no one has been able to take a second to explain.

Answer 10

rate of change = slope
