Answer:

120 MW/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the average rate of change between two points in a function is:

Average rate of change (ARC) = f(x2) -f(x1)/(x2-x1)

Let's think  the power demad as a function d(x) depending of the hour of the day, so the variable x= hour of the day.

Now we have:

d(5)= 1600

d(8)= 1960

If we apply the mentioned ARC formula = [d(8)-d(5)] MW/(8-5)hour= (1960-1600)MW/3hour= 360/3=120 MW/Hour

valentina_108 [34]
This is just substitution. so 3(2(3)-4(1/2)+3(-2/3)= 3(6-2-2)= 3(2) = 6. Basically you plug in the values they gave you for the variables and then just solve one step at a time
