Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
If I understand the question right, G(t) = -((t-1)^2) + 5 and we want to solve for the average rate of change over the interval −4 ≤ t ≤ 5.
A function for the rate of change of G(t) is given by G'(t).
G'(t) = d/dt(-((t-1)^2) + 5). We solve this by using the chain rule.
d/dt(-((t-1)^2) + 5) = d/dt(-((t-1)^2)) + d/dt(5) = -2(t-1)*d/dt(t-`1) + 0 = (-2t + 2)*1 = -2t + 2
G'(t) = -2t + 2
This is a linear equation, and the average value of a linear equation f(x) over a range can be found by (f(min) + f(max))/2.
So the average value of G'(t) over −4 ≤ t ≤ 5 is given by ((-2(-4) + 2) + (-2(5) + 2))/2 = ((8 + 2) + (-10 + 2))/2 = (10 - 8)/2 = 2/2 = 1
