Question

Use the graph of f(x) to evaluate the following:

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The average rate of change of function}\ f(x)\\\text{over the interval}\ a\leq x\leq b\ \text{is given by this expression:}\\\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}.\\\\\text{Read from graph the values of function for}\ x=3\ \text{and}\ x=5.\\(look\ at\ the\ picture)\\\\f(3)=1,\ f(5)=2\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\\dfrac{f(5)-f(3)}{5-3}=\dfrac{2-1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
