I have a quick math question :)

Ballery1:

Supppose i have a long polynomial function of y = x^6 + 7x^5 - 4x^4 - 9x^3 + 2x^2 + 8x -4 right... Each derivative of the function will give me the avg of the previous function correct?

Ballery1:

I mean avg of the original function that you took the derivative of.... just wanted to confirm tho :)

mhchen:

I don't think so. You mean average value right? https://www.mathwords.com/a/average_value_function.htm Derivatives only find the slope of that function. For the average, you need to learn integrals.
