Question

Calculate the average rate of change of the given function over the given interval. Where appropriate, specify the units of measurement. f(x)=x2−3f(x)=x 2−3; [1, 3].

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Rate of Change Formula: $\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Simply plug in our interval:

[(3² - 3) - (1² - 3)]/(3 - 1)

[9 - 3 - 1 + 3]/2

8/2
