Question

Find the average rate of change of f(x)=4x^2-6 on interval [1,a]​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4a +4

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) on the interval is ...

  (f(a) -f(1))/(a -1)

  = ((4a² -6) -(4(1)² -6))/(a -1) = (4a² -4)/(a -1)

  = 4(a² -1)/(a -1) = 4(a +1) = 4a +4

The average rate of change on the interval is 4a +4.
