Question

What is the average rate of change ?

Answer 1

The answer for the question is -8 (:

Answer 2

A. -8

Explanation:

The average rate of change can be found with the formula

[f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a) on the interval a to b

Here, a = 3, b = 5, f(a) = -10, and f(b) = -26. Plug in the values and simplify...

[-26 - (-10)]/(5 - 3)

[-26 + 10]/2

-16/2

-8
