Question

What is the average rate of charge. Please write your answer as an integer or simplified fraction

Answer 1

In order to find the average rate of change, use the following formula:

`m=(f(x_2)-f(x_1))/(x_2-x_1)`

In this case:

x1 = 0

x2 = 4

f(x1) = 6

f(x2) = 8

By replacing the previous values into the formula for m andby simplifying you get:

`m=(8-6)/(4-0)=(2)/(4)=(1)/(2)`

Hence, the average rate of change is 1/2
