Finding the average rate of change of a function. Find the average rate of change of h(x) = -3x^2 - 2x from x = -4 to x = -1. Simplify your answer as much as possible.
Added by Curtis H.
Step 1
We need to find the change in h(x) from x=-4 to x=-1. h(-1) = -3(-1)^2 - 2(-1) = -1 h(-4) = -3(-4)^2 - 2(-4) = -38 Change in h(x) = h(-1) - h(-4) = -1 - (-38) = 37 Show more…
