Question

What is the average rate of change for this quadratic function for the interval from x = 0 to x = 2?

A. -4
B. 2
C. -2
D. 4​

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

average rate of change is just the rate at which the graph goes up or down over the interval thats given. here, we're just looking at between when x=0 and x=2. however, the graph goes down more between 0 and 1 than it does between 1 and 2, which is why we're looking for the average. the graph goes down 4 in total. divide this change by 2 to get the average which is -2
