The graph below plots a function f(x):

1 answer:

4 0

By definition we have that the average rate of change of the function is given by:
$AVR = \frac{f(x2) - f(x1)}{x2 - x1}
$
Substituting values we have:
$AVR = \frac{100 - 50}{2 - 0}$
Rewriting we have:
$AVR = \frac{50}{2}$
$AVR = 25$
Answer:
If x represents time, the average rate of change of the function f(x) in the first two seconds is 25.
