Question

Answer quick pleasee!!!

The function y = f(x) is graphed below. What is the average rate of change of the function f(x) on the interval 6 < 2 < 8?

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

Here [ a, b ] = [ - 6, 6 ]

From the graph

f(b) = f(6) = - 2

f(a) = f(- 6) = 10 , thus

average rate of change = = = - 1
