Answer:
Dividing is the same as putting numbers into a fraction. This is N/8. We don't get the answer until we figure out what N is equal to.
In calculus, we use derivatives to find the instantaneous rate of change at any point on a graph. To find the average rate of change, we just find the slope of the secant line that intercepts two points on the graph.
We find slope with the following equation:
In this case, we are looking for the slope from x = -1 to x = 1. We have both x values, so next we need the y values.
F(-1) = (-1)^2 - (-1) - 1 = 1
F(1) = (1)^2 - (1) - 1 = -1
Now plug in the x and y values to find the slope:
The answer is -1.
