Question

Plsss help ;)

Which formula below gives the average rate of change of the function z(x) = -6x + 2 + 3 on the interval -1 ≤ x ≤ 2 ?

Answer 1

ave rate of change = (-6)^(2+2) +3 - (-6)^(-1+2) +3

Explanation:

Answer 2

ave rate of change = (-6)^(2+2) +3 - (-6)^(-1+2) +3

---------------------------------------------

2+1

Explanation:

To find the average rate of change

ave rate of change = f(x2) - f(x1)

----------------

x2-x1

We know that x2 = 2 and x1 = -1

ave rate of change = f(2) - f(-1)

----------------

2--1

ave rate of change = (-6)^(2+2) +3 - (-6)^(-1+2) +3

---------------------------------------------

2+1
