If f(x)=x^3−x, what is the average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [1, 5]? a)29.5 b)30 c)43 d)120

1 answer:

7 0

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= x^3-x \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=1\\
x_2=5
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[5^3-5]~-~[1^3-1]}{4}\implies \cfrac{125-5~~-~~0}{4}\implies \cfrac{120}{4}\implies 30$

Serjik [45]

I’m not *completely* sure if this would be right, but it could possibly be:
160
how i got this:
20 = 150
/(divide) 150
0.13(recurring) = 1
x1200
160 = 1200
