In general, you're calculating the magnitude of average velocity. In fact, speed is a vector, and as such it also has a direction and orientation.
So, if you compute the average speed, you're assuming that you went directly from point A to point B, which is basically never the case.
If, instead, you actually moved on a straight line from point A to point B, then the two quantities are the same.
Answer:
95
Step-by-step explanation:
You multiply base x height and divide by 1/2 to find an area of a triangle.
It’s either A or C I would pick A even though they don’t really make sense.

Answer:
b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the function
. We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).
f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2
So, we have the point (2, 1/2)
At point b, f(b) = 1/b.
Let's plug this into the slope formula:

Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).

Now, cross multiply.


Solve for b. Factor using the numbers -4 and -2.

Thus, b=4 or b=2.
However, b=2 is not a possible solution since the interval [2,2] means nothing. Thus, b=4.
