Average Rate of change from Table Nov 18, 9:58:13 AM Given the function defined in the table below, find the average rate of change simplest form, of the function over the interval 4 < < 12. 4 25 20 12 16 Submit Answer LIISWO

Answer 1

The average rate of change of the given function between x = 4 and x = 12 is computed as follows:

`(f(12)-f(4))/(12-4)`

Replacing with f(12) = 15 and f(4) = 25,

`(15-25)/(12-4)=(-10)/(8)=-(5)/(4)`

The average rate of change is -5/4
