Question

Use the table below to answer this question

find the average rate of change for the given function from x=0 to x=2​

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

Average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 2:

Average rate of change =
`(f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)`

Where,

`a = 0, f(a) = 2`

`b = 2, f(b) = -6`

Plug in the values into the formula for average rate of change.

`= (-6 - 2)/(2 - 0)`

`= (-8)/(2)`

`= -4`

Average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 2 is -4
