Which expression can be used to determine the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval mc001-1.jpg
A f(9 – 2)B f(9) – f(2)
C f(9-2) / 9-2
D f(9) - f(2) / 9 - 2

Respuesta :

The average rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval (a, b) is given by
[tex] \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} [/tex]

Therefore, given a function, f(x), over an interval (2, 9), the average rate of change of the function can be found using the expression
[tex] \frac{f(9)-f(2)}{9-2} [/tex]
