For the first interval (-1, 2), f(-1) = f(2), which means that the average rate of change on that interval is zero, so the correct option is A.
<h3>
Over which interval the rate of change is zero?</h3>
For a function f(x) we define the average rate of change over the interval (a, b) is defined as:
R = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)
Here the function is:
f(x) = x^2 - x -1
And the rate of change will be zero on an interval (a, b) if and only if:
f(b) = f(a).
Notice that the first interval is (-1, 2)
f(-1) = (-1)^2 - (-1) - 1 = 1 + 1 - 1 = 1
f(2) = 2^2 - 2 - 1 = 4 - 2 - 1 =1
Then f(-1) = f(2), which means that the average rate of change on that interval is zero, so the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The rule that represents the function is 
therefore the function is 
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 5 ordered pairs in the plane xy. This means that <em>every pair has the form (x, y).</em>
Then, we have 5 values of x, which will give us 5 values of y, using the rule that represents the function.
<u>The easy evaluation is that when x=0, the value of y is y=1,</u> and then we can evaluate the rule for x=-1, and x=1, <em>the value of y is the same, y=2</em>. We can see here that we have a parabolic function, that is not centered in the origin of coordinates because when x=0, y=1.
So <u>we propose the rule </u><u> which is correct for the first 3 values of x.</u>
Now, <em>we evaluate the proposed rule when x=2, and when x=3</em>. This evaluations can be written as
Therefore, the rule is correct, and the function is
