Question

Find the average rate of change of the function

Answer 1

The average rate of change from an interval from
`x_1` to
`x_2` is the change in the value of the function divided by the change in x.


`(f(x_2)-f(x_1))/(x_2-x_1)`

Let's find the values of
`f(x_1)` and
`f(x_2)`


`f(x_1)=7(2)=14`

`f(x_2)=7(0)=0`

Average rate of change
`=(f(x_2)-f(x_1))/(x_2-x_1)`


`= (14-0)/(2-0)=\boxed{7}`

Your answer is 7. I hope this helps! :)
