Question

Find the average rate of change of the function over the given interval.

Answer 1

Answer:

Average rate of change = 20.2

Rate of change at the left endpoint :   f' (5) = 4t = 20

Rate of change at the right  endpoint : f' (5.1) = 4*5.1 = 20.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of the function

F(t) = 2t^2 - 1 ,  [ 5,5.1 ]

solution

$\frac{f(5.1)-f(5)}{5.1 - 5}$ = $\frac{2*(5.1)^2-1-(2*5^2-1)}{0.1}$   = [ 2 ( 26.01 - 25 ) / 0.1 ]

= 2.02 / 0.1 = 20.2

Rate of change at the left endpoint :   f' (5) = 4t = 20

Rate of change at the right  endpoint : f' (5.1) = 4*5.1 = 20.4
