Answer:
The average rate of change for f(x) from x=−1 to x = 4 is, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate A(x) of change for a function f(x) over [a, b] is given by:
As per the statement:
we have to find the average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 4
At x = -1
and
at x = 4
Substitute these in [1] we have;
⇒
⇒
Simplify:
A(x) = 1
Therefore, the average rate of change for f(x) from x=−1 to x = 4 is, 1
