se the table below of the function f(x) = x4  − 2x3  to answer this question: xf(x)−13001−120327what is the average rate of change from x = −1 to x = 2?

The average rate of change from x=-1 to x=2 is -1

Solution:

f(x)=x^4-2x^3

x   f(x)

-1    3

0    0

1     -1

2    0

3   27

Average rate of change from x=-1 to x=2: r=?

Average rate of change from x=a to x=b: r=[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a); a=-1, b=2

a=-1→f(a)=f(-1)=3 See table

b=2→f(b)=f(2)=0 See table

Replacing the values in the formula:

r=(0-3)/(2-(-1))

r=(-3)/(2+1)

r=(-3)/(3)

r=-1

The average rate of change from x=-1 to x=2 is -1

a is 8.b is 10.c is 10.5. d is -.5

step-by-step explanation:

just minus the smallest number from the biggest.
