It is a measure of how much the function changed per unit, on average, over that interval.
Given:

(a) To find the net change of the function, first we calculate the values of
and 

The net change is simply the difference

Answer:
, D
Step-by-step explanation:
3 if x is greater than or equal to 1 is nothing. That leaves us with
if x<1. If you substitute in 1 for x, you get 3, but of course that isn't possible, so the range is

Answer:
Carmen bought 5 pounds of coffee
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of buying coffee is $8.44 per pound. Let us assume she bought x pound of coffee, this means that she spent $8.44x on coffee.
She went to the coffee store with $80 gift card and left with $37.80, this means that after spending $8.44x from the initial $80, she had $37.80. To find the number of pounds she bought, we are to use the following equation:
80 - 8.44x = 37.80
8.44x = 80 - 37.80
8.44x = 42.2
x = 42.2/ 8.44 = 5
x = 5 pounds.
