To find the average rate of change, evaluate the function at the given points.
Evaluate the difference of the function at the given points.
Divide the difference of the function at the given points with the difference of the given points.
The subtraction sign in front of the second set of parenthesis changes the signs on the terms inside those parenthesis. So this could be rewritten as

. None of the exponents on the x are the same, so we will just express it in terms of descending powers of x.

. This is also the same as

if you don't like to start with a negative. Either one is correct.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
is a polynomial of type binomial and has a degree 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the polynomial expression

Group like terms

Add similar elements: -8c-8c-9c=-25c

Thus, the polynomial is in two variables and contains two, unlike terms. Therefore, it is a 'binomial' with two, unlike terms.
Each term has a degree equal to the sum of the exponents on the variables.
The degree of the polynomial is the greatest of those.
25c has a degree 1
has a degree 6. (adding the exponents of two variables 'c' and 'd').
Thus,
is a polynomial of type binomial and has a degree 6.
