Question

Drag each tile to the correct box consider the given functions f,g and h place the tiles in order from least to greatest according to the average rate of change of the functions over the interval 0,3 h(x)=x^2+x-6

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the average rate of change of a function f over an interval [a,b] is given by

$\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

compute the quantity

$\dfrac{f(3)-f(0)}{3}$

for all the three function

Average rate of change of f:

We will simply use the table to check the values for f(3) and f(0):

$\dfrac{f(3)-f(0)}{3}=\dfrac{10-1}{3} = 3$

Average rate of change of g:

We will use the graph to to check the values for g(3) and g(0):

$\dfrac{g(3)-g(0)}{3}=\dfrac{8-1}{3} = \dfrac{7}{3}$

Average rate of change of h:

We can plug the values in the equation to get h(3) and h(0):

$h(3)=3^2+3-6=9+3-6=6,\quad h(0)=0^2+0-6=-6$

And so the average rate of change is

$\dfrac{h(3)-h(0)}{3}=\dfrac{6-(-6)}{3} = 4$
