Answer:
It is difficult to give a specific answer without your scenario but maybe this may help you out a bit.
Let's say you have a line like the one attached:
I labelled certain points b and u so you can use it as a reference. Now all you need to do is count all the points that lie on the same line and are found between.
In this case it would be point d and point e because the rest of the points do not line on the same line. For this problem particular scenario, the answer would be 2.
Answer:
- 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is
Here [ a, b ] = [ - 5, - 2 ]
f(b) = f(- 2) = (- 2)² - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0
f(a) = f(- 5) = (- 5)² - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21, thus
average rate of change = =
= - 7
