Well, some integers can be irrational, but not all! :)

Answer:
a. -5
b.-5
c.-5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the average rate of change of a function , we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.
Generally, the average rate of change (ARC) on an ecuatios between two points (x1,f(x1)) and (x2,f(x2)) is
- ARC = [f(x2)-f(x1)]/ (x2-x1)
<em>In case a)</em>
f(-1)= -5*(-1)-8=5-8= -3 f(3)= -5*3-8= -23
Then ARC= (-23-(-3))/(3-(-1))=-20/4=-5
<em>In case b)</em>
f(a)= (-5a-8)
f(b)= (-5b-8)
Then ARC= [(-5b-8)-(-5a-8)]/(b-a)= (-5b+5a)/(b-a)= -5(b-a)/(b-a)= -5
<em>In case c)</em>
f(x)= -5x-8
f(x+h)= -5(x+h)-8= -5x-5h-8
then ARC= [(-5x-5h-8)-(-5x-8)]/(x+h-x) =-5h/h= -5
Answer: f(2) = -4
Step-by-step explanation: Here we're given the function f(x) = -3x + 2 and we are asked to find f(2).
In other words, if we put an <em>x</em> into our function, we get a -3x + 2 out so what happens when we put a 2 into the function?
Well if we put a 2 into the function,
that's f(2) and we get -3(2) + 2 out.
Now all we have to do is simplify on the right side.
-3(2) is -6 so we have -6 + 2 which is -4.
So f(2) is -4.
