Answer:
Average rate of change of the function will be = (-1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate of change of a function f(x) is determined by the formula,
Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex] If a < x < b
We have to find the average rate of change of a function g(t) between the interval [-3, 1]
From the given table,
For t = -3,
g(-3) = 6
For t = 1,
g(1) = 0
Therefore, average rate of change of the function in the given interval
= [tex]\frac{g(1)-g(-3)}{1-(-3)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0-6}{1+3}[/tex]
= [tex]-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
= - 1.5
