Find the average rate of change of the function f(x) = -2x^2 - x + 6, from x = -2 to x = 0. Find the average rate of change over the interval [-2, 0]. What is the average rate of change?
Added by Matthew V.
Step 1
Plug in x = -2 into the function f(x) = -2x^2 - x + 6: f(-2) = -2(-2)^2 - (-2) + 6 f(-2) = -2(4) + 2 + 6 f(-2) = -8 + 2 + 6 f(-2) = 0 Plug in x = 0 into the function f(x) = -2x^2 - x + 6: f(0) = -2(0)^2 - 0 + 6 f(0) = 0 - 0 + 6 f(0) = 6 Show more…
