What is the average rate of change of the function f(x) = - 3x + 5 over the interval x = - 1 to x = 1 ?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:-3Step-by-step explanation:GivenF(x)=-3 x +5in the interval x=-1 to x=1Average rate of change is given by [tex]=\frac{F(b)-F(a)}{b-a}[/tex]over x=a to x=bF(1)=-3+5=2F(-1)=3+5=8Thus average rate of change[tex]=\frac{2-8}{1-(-1)}=-3 [/tex]
