Question

Find the average rate of change of the function f(x)=(3/-3x-5), on the interval x ∈ [0,3]

Answer 1

Answer:

The average rate of change on the given interval is 9/70

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to find the average rate of change of the function on the given interval

We proceed as follows;

on an interval [a,b] , we can find the average rate of change using the formula;

f(b) - f(a)/b-a

From the question;

a = 0

b = 3

f(0) = -3/5

f(3) = -3/14

Substituting the values, we have;

-3/14-(-3/5)/3-0

= 3/5-3/14/3

= (42-15)/70/3

= 27/70/3

= 27/70 * 1/3 = 9/70
