Look up Quadratic Formula Pop Goes the Weasel
its like 30 seconds and is pretty easy to remember
The average rate of change of a function f(x) on the interval [a,b] is given by:
f(b) - f(a)
-------------
b-a
In this specific case, a=2 and b = 3.
f(2) = -3 and f(3) = -1.
Thus, the average rate of change here of f(x) on the interval [2,3] is:
-1 - (- 3) 2
------------- = ------------- = 2 (answer)
3-2 1
Answer: 3/2 or 1 .5
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply then simplify, that's doing the same work twice...anyway
x^3+x^2y+xy^2-x^2y-xy^2-y^3
x^3-y^3 which if factored is:
(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2) which is what you started with :)
