Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The interval, x = -2 to x = 0.
Required:
Average rate of change from x = -2 to x = 0.
SOLUTION:
From the graph,
If x = -2, f(-2) = 0.
If x = 0, f(0) = 4
Average rate of change = [tex] \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} [/tex]
Where,
[tex] a = -2, f(a) = 0 [/tex]
[tex] b = 0, f(b) = 4 [/tex]
Plug in the values into the formula:
[tex] = \frac{4 - 0}{0 -(-2)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{4}{2} = 2 [/tex]
Average rate of change from x = -2 to x = 0 is 2.
