How can the average rate of change be identified for a function?

Mathematics

Digiron [165]3 years ago

Answer:

Rateofchange=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

where x₁ and x₂ are values in the interval [x,y] respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first to determine the average rate of change of a function, you should have the interval of the values of x for the function.

So lets assume you have a function;

f(x)=x^3-4x

And the interval as [1,3]

Then the average rate of change for the function f(x) will be;

=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

where x₁ and x₂ are the interval coordinates x,y respectively. In this case x₁=1 and x₂=3

To find the average rate of change in this example will be;

=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} \\\\=f(x_2)=f(3)=3^3-4(3)=27-12=15\\\\=f(x_1)=f(1)=1^3-4(1)=1-4=-3\\\\\\=x_2-x_1=3-1=2\\\\\\=\frac{15--3}{2} \\\\=\frac{18}{2} =9

The fastest race horse ran 1/4 mile in 1/3 of a minute. What was the horse's running speed?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

3/4 miles per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

To get speed in miles per minute, just divide distance/time

1/4 mile / 1/3 minute = 3/4 miles per minute

If you want miles per hour, you'll have to convert minutes to hours.

3/4 miles/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 45 miles/hour

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:  56 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

48 miles x 2 hours = 96 miles

60 miles x 4 hours =  240 miles

240 + 96 = 360 total miles

360 / 6 (hours) = 56 mph
