Answer: Well you’re solving for “x,” so you’ll need to isolate this variable. This means we need to “get rid of” the fraction 2/3 that is attached to it. The faction is attached by the operation multiplication, so to remove it we must divide it on both sides. And division with fractions requires the reciprocal. (Try watching an explanation if you’re confused on why division requires reciprocals).

Given the function f(x) = 4x + 1, EXPLAIN and show how to find the average rate of change between x = 1 and x = 3.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The average rate of change is calculated as the slope of the line between the two points on the graph. Since at x = 1, y = -3, and at x = 3, y = 1, these are the two points which we calculate the slope from. Using the formula

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

m = (1 - (-3))/(3 - 1)

m = 4/2

m = 2

Therefore the slope, or the average rate of change, between these points is 2.
