Answer:

a. -5

b.-5

c.-5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the average rate of change of a function , we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.

Generally, the average rate of change (ARC) on an ecuatios  between two points (x1,f(x1)) and (x2,f(x2)) is

  • ARC = [f(x2)-f(x1)]/ (x2-x1)

<em>In case a)</em>

f(-1)= -5*(-1)-8=5-8= -3          f(3)= -5*3-8= -23

Then ARC= (-23-(-3))/(3-(-1))=-20/4=-5

<em>In case b)</em>

f(a)= (-5a-8)

f(b)= (-5b-8)

Then ARC= [(-5b-8)-(-5a-8)]/(b-a)= (-5b+5a)/(b-a)= -5(b-a)/(b-a)= -5

<em>In case c)</em>

f(x)= -5x-8

f(x+h)= -5(x+h)-8= -5x-5h-8

then ARC= [(-5x-5h-8)-(-5x-8)]/(x+h-x) =-5h/h= -5
