Given:
Consider the given function is:
To find:
The average rate of change of the function over the interval .
Solution:
The average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval [a,b] is:
We have,
At ,
At ,
Now, the average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval is:
Therefore, the average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval is -3.
