Answer: [tex]\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the rate of change of function f(x) from x=a to x= b is given by :-
[tex]k=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
The given points on graph : (0, -4) and (pi over 2, 0) and (pi, 4) and (3 pi over 2, 0) and (2 pi, -4).
The rate of change from x = 0 to x = pi over 2 will be :-
[tex]\dfrac{0-(-4)}{\dfrac{\pi}{2}-0}=\dfrac{4}{\dfrac{\pi}{2}}[/tex] [By using points (0, -4) and (pi over 2, 0) ]
[tex]=\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex]
Hence, the rate of change from x = 0 to x = pi over 2 is [tex]\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex] .
