Question

Which is the best estimate for the average rate of change for the quadratic function graph on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 4?

Answer 1

ANSWER

A) -1

EXPLANATION

The average rate of change of the given quadratic function on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤4 is the slope of the secant line connecting the points (0,f(0)) and (4,f(4)).

That is the average rate of change is:

$= \frac{f(4) - f(0)}{4 - 0}$

From the graph, f(0) is 0 and f(4) is -4.

We plug in these values to obtain;

$= \frac{ - 4 - 0}{4 - 0}$

This simplifies to;

$= \frac{ - 4}{4}$

$= - 1$

Hence the average rate of change for the given quadratic function whose graph is shown on 0≤x≤4 is -1
