The average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is 2

<u>Solution:</u>

Given function is:

f(x) = 2x - 1

We have to find the average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2

<em><u>The average rate of change is given as:</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

<em><u>The average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is given by formula:</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{2-(-1)}\\\\\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{3}

<em><u>Find f(2) and f( - 1)</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute x = 2 in given function</u></em>

f(2) = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

<em><u>Substitute x = -1 in given function</u></em>

f( - 1) = 2(-1) - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3

<em><u>Substitute the values in above formula,</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{3-(-3)}{3}=\frac{6}{3}=2

Thus average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is 2

A machine can make a box in 1 3/10 seconds. How many boxes can the machine make in 1 hour
Kazeer [188]

Since a machine make a box per 0.3 seconds, 1 hour would be 3600. 3600 divided by 0.3 is 12000. And that is the answer.
