I need help with a trig related question

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

hartnn (hartnn):

what are the values of the graph at those 2 points?

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

pi/4, -3 and pi/2, -7

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, now use this formula

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\Large \dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\)

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

i know its gunna be -7+3/ pi/2- pi/4

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

you would end up with -4/ pi/4

hartnn (hartnn):

yeah and that is -4*4/pi = ...

hartnn (hartnn):

i see ... you don't have that options

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

so -16/pi but thats not an option

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

its either the first one or third one because pi has to be on the bottom but i dont get either one

hartnn (hartnn):

i think f(pi/4) is not -3

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

i didnt see it on the graph so i just thought it was the little green line

hartnn (hartnn):

no.. its at -1, try it with -1 value

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

so youll get -7 +1 /pi/2 - pi/4

hartnn (hartnn):

hmm...but even that won't give you anything from the options..

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

if you used 1 then youd get an answer

hartnn (hartnn):

yesss...but that won't be correct value, though lets go with 32/pi only :)

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

for the answer?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes -32/pi

OpenStudy (breanna1999):

thank you
