Answer 1

Given:

`h(x)=x^2-1`

Required:

To calculate which option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the formula for the average rate of change of the function:

`\begin{gathered} (\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(f^1(x_1)+f^1(x_2))\text{ divide by 2} \\ \\ So,\text{ -3}\leq x\leq1,(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(-6+2)/(2)=-2 \\ \\ it\text{ has a negative rate of change.} \end{gathered}`

Required answer:

Option C
