Answer:

The average slope is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>f</em> be defined on the closed interval [a, b]. The average slope of <em>f </em>between a and b is the quotient

                                       average slope = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

To find the average slope of the function f(x)=1-4x^2 on the interval [-1, 3] you have to evaluate your function in the interval and then divide by the interval.

So,

f(-1)=1-4(-1)^2=-3\\\\f(3)=1-4(3)^2=-35

The average slope is  \frac{f(3)-f(-1)}{3+1}= \frac{-3+35}{3+1}=\frac{32}{4}=8

The formula of a surface area of a cube:

SA = 6a^2

We have <em>a = 8 yd</em>.

Substitute:

SA=6(8^2)=6(64)=384\ yd^2
