Question

Consider the function.f(x)What is the approximate average rate of change of f(z) fromz = -2 to z-2?Yes we

Answer 1

From the graph, we have the following points:

when x = -2, y = 3.

when x = 2, y = 2

Thus, we have:

(x1, y1) ==> (-2, 3)

(x2, y2) ==> (2, 2)

To find the rate of change between these points, solve for the slope of these points.

Use the slope formula below:

`\text{slope,m}=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Input values into the formula:

`\text{slope}=(2-3)/(2-(-2))\text{ = }(2-3)/(2+2)=(-1)/(4)`

ANSWER:

`-(1)/(4)`
