ANSWER
A) -1
EXPLANATION
The average rate of change of the given quadratic function on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤4 is the slope of the secant line connecting the points (0,f(0)) and (4,f(4)).
That is the average rate of change is:
From the graph, f(0) is 0 and f(4) is -4.
We plug in these values to obtain;
This simplifies to;
Hence the average rate of change for the given quadratic function whose graph is shown on 0≤x≤4 is -1
