Main Answer:

The average rate of change of a function from
\(x=a\) to \(x=b\) is given by the formula:


\[ \text{Average Rate of Change} = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a) \]

To find the average rate of change from 0 to
\((\pi)/(2)\) for a given function, we substitute
\(a=0\) and \(b=(\pi)/(2)\) into the formula and compute the result.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider a function
\(f(x)\) for which we want to find the average rate of change from 0 to
\((\pi)/(2)\). The formula for average rate of change is:


\[ \text{Average Rate of Change} = (f\left((\pi)/(2)\right) - f(0))/((\pi)/(2) - 0) \]

If you have the specific function
\(f(x)\), you would substitute
\(x=(\pi)/(2)\) and \(x=0\) into the function, subtract the results, and then divide by
\((\pi)/(2)\).

The resulting value would be the average rate of change over the given interval.
