Question

What is the average rate of change of f on the interval [-5,1]

Answer 1

anyhow, note the f(x) you have, bearing in mind, you kinda skipped posting it


`\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} average\ rate\\ of\ change \end{array} \\\\\\ f(x)\qquad \begin{cases} x_1=1\\ x_2=-5 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(-5)-f(1)}{-5-1}`
