Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total production order be X. The combined rate is thus x/36 orders per hour.

Now, we know that the three machines are working at the same constant rate. This means that individual rate for each of the machines will be x/36 divided by 3 and that gives x/108 per machine.

Now, we are having another machine coming at the same constant rate. This means we are adding an x/108 rate to the preexisting x/36.

The new total rate thus becomes x/108 + x/36 = 4x/108

Now we know that the total new rate is 4x/108. Since the total work doesn’t change and it is still x, the time taken to complete a work of x orders at a rate of 4x/108 order per hour would be x divided by 4x/108 and this is x * 108/4x = 108/4 = 27 hours

For this case, what we should do is evaluate the function for different points within the range shown.
 We then have the following table:
 x      g(x) 
 -2    -9
 -1     3
  0     7
  1     3
  2    -9
  3    -29
  4    -57
 From where we observed that the average rate of change is:
 -13
 Answer:
 
the average rate of change of g over the interval [-2,4] is:
