Answer:
The average rate of change is
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change from x=a to x=b of f(x) is given by;
We want to find the average rate of change of the function represented in the table from x=-2 to x=2.
From the table f(-2)=25 and f(2)=9
The average rate of change from x=-2 to x=2 is

Explanation:
The domain is the set of allowed x input values, aka the set of all allowed x coordinates of the points. We see that . It might help to draw vertical lines through the endpoints until you reach the x axis. Note the open hole at x = -4 to indicate we do not include this as part of the domain (hence the lack of "or equal to" for the first inequality sign).
The interval then can be condensed into the shorthand form (-4, 3] which is the domain in interval notation.
It says: x is between -4 and 3. It can't equal -4 but it can equal 3.
So the use of parenthesis versus square brackets tells the reader which endpoint is included or not.
--------------------------------------------------
The range describes all possible y outputs. We see that y = 5 is the largest it gets and y = -5 is the lower bound. It might help to draw horizontal lines through the endpoints until you reach the y axis. The open hole means -5 is not part of the range.
The range as a compound inequality is . This condenses into the shorthand of (-5, 5] which is the range in interval notation.
Verbally, the range is the set of y values such that y is between -5 and 5. It can't equal -5 but it can equal 5.
