A ) The domain:
x^{4} -16 x^{2}  \geq 0 \\  x^{2} ( x^{2} -16) \geq 0 \\  x^{2} -16 \geq 0 \\  x^{2}  \geq 16
x ≤ -4  and x≥ 4  or:  x ∈ ( - ∞ , - 4 ) ∪ ( 4  , + ∞ )
b ) f ` ( x ) = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{ x^{4} -16 x^{2} } } *( 4 x^{3} - 32 x ) = \\ = \frac{2x( x^{2} -8)}{ \sqrt{ x^{4}-16 x^{2}  } }
c ) The slope of the line normal to the graph at x = 5
m = -1 / f `(x)
f ` ( x ) = \frac{10(25-8)}{ \sqrt{625-400} }=  \frac{10*17}{15} = \frac{34}{3}
m = - 3/34

What is the average rate of change for this function for the interval from x=3 to x=5?​
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

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

Here [ a, b ] = [ 3, 5 ]

From the table of values

f(b) = f(5) = 32

f(a) = f(3) = 8

Hence

average rate of change = \frac{32-8}{5-3} = \frac{24}{2} = 12
