Question

two friends, Nick and jesse, are disputing a function. Jesse says that foe the function, between x=-3.5 and x=3.5, that average rate of change is 0. nick says that for the function, between x=-3.5 and x=3.5, the graph goes up through a turning point, and then back.down. Explain how nick and jesse cna both be correct, using complete sentences.

Answer 1

This could be a linear equation, as what Jesse is saying, so slope is 0, y=0
It could also turn up and down, like a parabola, a quadratic function such as (x+3.5)(x-3.5)
