Question

Which function has an average rate of change of -4 over the interval [-2,2]?

Answer 1

Only p(x) has an average rate of change of -4 over [-2, 2].

Find the average rate of change of each given function over the interval [-2, 2]]:

The average rate of change of m(x) over [-2, 2]:

What is the average rate?

The average rate of change = $\frac{m(b)-m(a)}{b-a}$

Where, a = -2, m(a) = -12

b = 2, m(b) = 4

Plug the values into the equation

The average rate of change

$=\frac{4-(-12)}{2-(-2)} =\frac{16}{4}$

The average rate of change = 4

The average rate of change of n(x) over [-2, 2]:

The average rate of change = $\frac{n(b)-n(a)}{b-a}$

Where, a = -2, n(a) = -6

b = 2, n(b) = 6

Plug the values into the equation

The average rate of change

$=\frac{6-(-6)}{2-(-2)} \\=\frac{12}{4}$

The average rate of change = 3

The average rate of change of q(x) over [-2, 2]:

The average rate of change = $\frac{q(b)-q(a)}{b-a}$

Where, a = -2, q(a) = -4

b = 2, q(b) = -12

Plug the values into the

The average rate of change = $\frac{-4-12}{2-(-2)}$

= $\frac{-16}{4}$

The average rate of change = -2

The average rate of change of p(x) over [-2, 2]:

The average rate of change = $\frac{p(b)-p(a)}{b-a}$

Where, a = -2, p(a) = 12

b = 2, p(b) = -4

Plug the values into the equation

The average rate of change = $\frac{-4-12}{2-(-2)}$

$=\frac{-16}{4}$

The average rate of change = -4

The answer is D.

Only p(x) has an average rate of change of -4 over [-2, 2].
