Question

The table below shows the function f.

Answer 1

Answer:

the average rate of change is -1/6 per unit increase in x

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the table, we see that for each unit change in x, y decreases by 1/6.  Thus, the average rate of change is -1/6 per unit increase in x.

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Average rate of Change

             $=\frac{f(x_{2})-f(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{25}{3}-\frac{17}{2}}{4-3}\\\\=\frac{50-51}{6*1}\\\\=\frac{-1}{6}$

You can find average rate of change by taking any two distinct points on the curve.
