Question

What is the average rate of change for this quadratic function for the interval from x = 0 to x = 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change of a function between x = a and x = b will be,

Average rate of change = $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

We have to calculate average rate of change of the given quadratic function between x = 0 and x = 2.

From the given graph,

f(2) = 6

f(0) = 10

Therefore, average rate of change = $\frac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0}$

                                                          = $\frac{10-6}{2-0}$

                                                          = 2

Option B will be the answer.
