Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given table of values is
x f(x)
-3 -2
-2 0
-1 2
0 2
1 0
2 -8
3 -10
4 -20
We need to find the interval for which the function f(x) is positive.
From the given table it is clear that the value of function f(x) is negative before -2 and after 1.
The function positive between x=-2 and x=1. So, we can conclude that the function f(x) is positive for the interval (-2,1).
Therefore, he correct option is B.
The average rate of change of h(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is
Here [a, b ] = [ - 2, 2 ], thus
f(b) = f(2) = × 2³ - 2² = 1 - 4 = - 3
f(a) = × (- 2)³ - (- 2)² = - 1 - 4 = - 5
average rate of change = = =
I would say no but i don't know how to do your problem by how your describing it sorry :(
