Find the average rate of change of the function f(x) = 1/x-2 between the given points x = 4 and x = 8​

Mathematics

Sedbober [7]2 years ago

If <em>f(x)</em> = 1/<em>x</em> - 2, then the average rate of change between <em>x</em> = 4 and <em>x</em> = 8 is

(<em>f</em> (8) - <em>f</em> (4)) / (8 - 4) = ((1/8 - 2) - (1/4 - 2)) / 4 = -1/16

If you meant <em>f(x)</em> = 1/(<em>x</em> - 2), then it would be

(<em>f</em> (8) - <em>f</em> (4)) / (8 - 4) = (1/(8 - 2) - 1/(4 - 2)) / 4 = (1/6 - 1/2) / 4 = -1/12

<em>Make sure to check which one is the correct function!</em>

Answer: -2

=====================================================

Draw a vertical line through 4 on the x axis. This vertical line crosses the parabola at some point (which we'll call point A). Draw a horizontal line from point A to the y axis and note how it lands on y = 12. Therefore the point (4,12) is on this parabola.

Repeat the same steps as before to find that (8,4) is also on the parabola

We need to find the slope of the line through (4,12) and (8,4)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4-12)/(8 - 4)

m = -8/4

m = -2

The slope of this line is -2 meaning that the average rate of change from x = 4 to x = 8 is -2.

The line goes down 2 units each time you move to the right 1 unit.
