Question

Calculate the average rate of change for the given graph from x = 3 to x = 5 and select the correct answer below.

Answer 1

Answer: The average rate of change for the given graph from x=3 to x=5 is 0

Answer 2

Average rate of change between x = 3 to x = 5 is 0.

Explanation:

Given quadratic function s passing through two points (3, 0) and (5, 0).

Average rate of change of a function between x = a and x = b is given by,

Average rate of change =
`(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)`

From the graph attached,

Average rate of change between x = 3 to x = 5 will be,

=
`(f(5)-f(3))/(5-3)`

=
`(0-0)/(5-3)`

= 0

Therefore, average rate of change between x = 3 to x = 5 is 0.
