Answer:
≈ 0.14
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is
[tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
Here [a, b ] = [ - 1, 3 ] , then
f(b) = f(3) = [tex]\sqrt[3]{3+3}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[3]{6}[/tex] ≈ 1.817
f(a) = f(- 1) = [tex]\sqrt[3]{-1+3}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[3]{2}[/tex] ≈ 1.260 , then
average rate of change = [tex]\frac{1.817-1.260}{3-(-1)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.557}{4}[/tex] ≈ 0.14 ( to the nearest hundredth )
