Question
Calculate the average rate of change of the given function over the given interval. Where appropriate, specify the units of measurement. HINT [See Example 1.]$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline x & -3 & -2 & -1 & 0 \\\hline f(x) & -2.1 & 0 & -1.5 & 0 \\\hline\end{array}$$$$\text { Interval: }[-3,-1]$$
Step 1
Step 1: The average rate of change of a function over an interval [a, b] is given by the formula: $$\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$$ In this case, our interval is [-3, -1], so a = -3 and b = -1. Show more…
