To find the average rate of change of given function f(x) on a given interval (a,b):
Find f(b)-f(a), b-a, and then divide your result for f(b)-f(a) by your result for b-a:
f(b) - f(a)
------------
b-a
Here your function is f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3. Substituting b=5 and a=-2,
f(5) = 5^2 -2(5)+3 =? and f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 3 = ?
Calculate f(5) - [ f(-2) ]
------------------ using your results, above.
5 - [-2]
Your answer to this, if done correctly, is the "average rate of change of the function f(x) = x^2+2x+3 on the interval [-2,5]."

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of Blue casset be b and that of green be g.
Thus the total number of cassets will be:
b+g=16
hence
g=16-b.......i
The total amount was:
45b+55g=830..ii
plugging i in ii we get:
45b+55(16-b)=830
45b+880-55b=830
simplifying
45b-55b=830-880
-10b=-50
thus
b=5
hence
g=16-5=11
number of blue cassets was 5 and that of green was 11
The change is given by the difference between how much you paid and how much you actually had to pay. For example, if you pay with a $50 bill and you had to pay $13, your change will be
dollars.
In this case, we have

So, Gabriel's mistake was to leave the negative sign to the "-2" at the end of the expression, instead of flipping it to positive "+2" when subtracting it.
