Average rate of change over interval [a,b]: r=[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
In this case the interval is [0,2], then a=0, b=2
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/(2-0)
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/2
1) First function: h(x)
r=[h(2)-h(0)]/2
x=2→h(2)=(2)^2+2(2)-6
h(2)=4+4-6
h(2)=2
x=0→h(0)=(0)^2+2(0)-6
h(0)=0+0-6
h(0)=-6
r=[h(2)-h(0)]/2
r=[2-(-6)]/2
r=(2+6)/2
r=(8)/2
r=4
2) Second function: f(x)
A function, f, has an
x-intercept at (2,0)→x=2, f(2)=0
and a y-intercept at (0,-10)→x=0, f(0)=-10
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/2
r=[0-(-10)]/2
r=(0+10)/2
r=(10)/2
r=5
3) Third function: g(x)
r=[g(2)-g(0)]/2
From the graph:
g(2)=6
g(0)=2
r=(6-2)/2
r=(4)/2
r=2
4) Fourth function: j(x)
r=[j(2)-j(0)]/2
From the table:
x=2→j(2)=-8
x=0→j(0)=4
r=(-8-4)/2
r=(-12)/2
r=-6
Answer:
Pairs
1) h(x) 4
2) f(x) 5
3) g(x) 2
4) j(x) -6
<span>If we are to compare which among the given fractions is smaller, we first determine the decimal equivalent of each. If we are to solve for those, we determine that 3/4 is equal to 0.75 and 1/4 is equal to 0.25. This is done by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Comparing 0.75 and 0.25, we can conclude that 0.75 or 3/4 is greater compared to 0.25 or 1/4. </span>
1 1/2 I think is the answer
