What Is The Average Rate Of Change For This Quadratic Function For The Interval From X 1 To X 3 O A 8 B4 O O C 8 O D 4 class=

Sagot :

Answer:   -4  (choice B)

==========================================================

Explanation:

The table says that when x = 1, the output is y = -2.

So the point (1, -2) is on the parabola.

The table also says that point (3, -10) is on the parabola. We're focusing on this because x = 3 is the other endpoint.

Find the slope of the line through those two points. The slope here is the same as the average rate of change.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-10 - (-2))/(3 - 1)

m = (-10 + 2)/(3 - 1)

m = -8/2

m = -4 is the slope, and therefore, the average rate of change from x = 1 to x = 3.
