Question

The table shows the values of a function f(x).

Answer 1

Answer:

The average rate of change is $=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change from x=a to x=b of f(x) is given by;

$=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

We want to find the average rate of change of the function represented in the table  from x=-2 to x=2.

$=\frac{f(2)-f(-2)}{2--2}$

From the table f(-2)=25 and f(2)=9

The average rate of change from x=-2 to x=2 is

$=\frac{9-25}{2--2}$

$=\frac{-16}{4}$

$=-4$
