Question

Use the table below of the function f(x)=x4-2x3 to answer this question

X F(x)
-1 3
0 0
1 -1
2 0
3 27

What is the average rate of change from x=-1 to x=2? -3, -1, 1, 24

Answer 1

Average rate of change is slope (m).
(-1,3) and (2,0)

Slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(0-3)/(2-(-1))
m=(-3)/(3)
m=-1
