The function f(x) contains the set of points {(-2,4), (-1,8), (0, 12), (1, 15), (2, 18)} over the interval [-2,2].
What is the average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [0, 2]?

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

`\begin{array}{llll} f(x)~from\\\\ x_1 ~~ to ~~ x_2 \end{array}~\hfill slope = m \implies \cfrac{ \stackrel{rise}{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}}{ \underset{run}{x_2 - x_1}}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} average~rate\\ of~change \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} x_1=0\\ x_2=2 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(2)-f(0)}{2 - 0}\implies \cfrac{18-12}{2}\implies \cfrac{6}{2}\implies \text{\LARGE 3}`
