Answer 1

Answer:

The average rate of change of h(x) in the given interval is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we want to find the average rate of change of a function f(x), in an interval a < x < b, we just need to calculate:

$r = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Here we have:

h(x) = 2*x^2 - 7*x

And we want to find the average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 5

This will be:

$r = \frac{h(5) - h(2)}{5 - 2} = \frac{(2*5^2 - 7*5) - ( 2*2^2 - 7*2)}{3} = \frac{15 - (-6)}{3} = \frac{21}{3} = 7$

The average rate of change of h(x) in the given interval is 7.
