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

5x - 4 = -3x + 12. Solve for x
leva [86]

5x - 4 = -3x + 12.

move -3x to the other side

sign changes to +3x

5x+3x-4= -3x+3x+12

5x+3x-4= 12

move -4 to the other side

sign changes to +4

5x+3x-4+4= 12+4

8x= 16

divide by 8 for both sides

8x/8= 16/8

x= 2

Answer: x= 2

Hello! The first thing you want to do is add 4 to both sides, which gives you: 7over9x - 4 + 4 = 24 + 4. Then Simplify: 7over9x = 28. Then you just multiply both sides by the number 9! 9 times 7over9 = 28 times 9. Simplfy again! 7xover7 = 252over7. Simply that fraction, and you get x=36. 

~I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,
