I think it is not possible to find a certain equation from just a given points, it must have more given information because there is a lot of parabola pass throw (-1,1).

Consider the function f ( x ) = 1 − 4 x 2 on the interval [ − 1 , 3 ] . Find the average or mean slope of the function on this i

Blababa [14]

Answer:

The average slope is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>f</em> be defined on the closed interval [a, b]. The average slope of <em>f </em>between a and b is the quotient

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

To find the average slope of the function $f(x)=1-4x^2$ on the interval [-1, 3] you have to evaluate your function in the interval and then divide by the interval.

So,

$f(-1)=1-4(-1)^2=-3\\\\f(3)=1-4(3)^2=-35$

The average slope is $\frac{f(3)-f(-1)}{3+1}= \frac{-3+35}{3+1}=\frac{32}{4}=8$
