Question

What is the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [4,13]?

On a coordinate plane, a function has four points that are connected by lines. The points are (0, 0), (4, 8), (10, 5), and (13, 12).

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

4/9

Explanation:

The average rate of change is the slope between the two points.

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (12 -8)/(13 -4) = 4/9

The average rate of change on the interval [4, 13] is 4/9.
