Question

What is the average rate of change of the function over the interval x = 0 to x = 8?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The average rate of change is:

$\frac{13}{161}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The rational function given to us is;

$f(x)=\frac{3x+4}{2x+7}$

$f(0)=\frac{3(0)+4}{2(0)+7}$

$f(0)=\frac{4}{7}$

$f(8)=\frac{3(8)+4}{2(8)+7}$

$f(0)=\frac{28}{23}=1$

The average rate of change of this function from x=0 to x=8  is the slope of the secant line connecting:

(0,f(0)) and (8,f(8))

Average rate of change =$=\frac{f(8)-f(0)}{8-0}$

$=\frac{\frac{28}{23}-\frac{4}{7} }{8}$

$=\frac{13}{161}$
