Question

For the graphed exponential equation, calculate the average rate of change from x = −4 to x = 4.

Answer 1

rate of change formula is f(x_2) - f(x_1) / (x_2 - x_1) where x_1 = -4 and x_2 = 4

Answer 2

so first find the value of f(x) at -4 and at 4

Answer 3

How do i find the value o.o Sorry I get confused easily. Math isn't my strong suit v.v

Answer 4

for x = 4, put your eye on the origin and move to the right 4 units
then go down until you touch the graph

then look to the left to find the y-value

Answer 5

Ok

Answer 6

I have to go down all the way to the point where the point is right?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Oh I got -5 is that right o.o

Answer 9

good, now we do the same with x = -4

Answer 10

Okie :O

Answer 11

Is it 4...

Answer 12

0

Answer 13

good, so the top part of our formula is

-5 - 0 = -5

the bottom part of our formula is

4 - (-4) = 8

so your answer is -5/8

Answer 14

Okie ^_^, I need to study more in math XD, and by studying I mean learning how to do the math my way :O. Thank you so much!
