Question

The function y=f(x)is graphed below. What is the average rate of change of the function f(x) on the interval 5≤x≤5?

Answer 1

Given

The function y=f(x) is graphed in the interval -5≤x≤5.

Step-by-step explanation

To find the average rate of change of the function on the interval 0≤x≤5.

Use the formula

`A=(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)`

Substitute the values,

`\begin{gathered} A=(f(5)-f(0))/(5-0) \\ A=(-5-10)/(5-0) \\ A=(-15)/(5)=-3 \end{gathered}`

Answer

Hence the average rate of change of the function is -3.
