Question

Which is the BEST estimate of the average rate of change for the function given in the table, over the interval 2 ≤ x ≤ 4?

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Picking x = 2 and x  = 4 as my two points (since the interval is 2 ≤ x ≤ 4), we get:

$m = \frac{15-3}{4-2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6$

So, the BEST estimate of the average rate of change for the function given in the table is 6.

Answer 2

4 is bigger but if times maybe it’s will = to 8
