Math Problem Statement

Calculate the average rate of change for the function g(x) = 4x^2 - 5x + 1 over each interval: a) 2 ≤ x ≤ 4, b) 2 ≤ x ≤ 3, c) 2 ≤ x ≤ 2.5, d) 2 ≤ x ≤ 2.25, e) 2 ≤ x ≤ 2.1, f) 2 ≤ x ≤ 2.01.

Solution

The image shows a math problem that asks to calculate the average rate of change for the function g(x)=4x25x+1g(x) = 4x^2 - 5x + 1 over different intervals. There are six given intervals:

  1. 2x42 \leq x \leq 4
  2. 2x32 \leq x \leq 3
  3. 2x2.52 \leq x \leq 2.5
  4. 2x2.252 \leq x \leq 2.25
  5. 2x2.12 \leq x \leq 2.1
  6. 2x2.012 \leq x \leq 2.01

The average rate of change formula:

The average rate of change of a function g(x)g(x) over an interval [a,b][a, b] is given by: Average rate of change=g(b)g(a)ba\text{Average rate of change} = \frac{g(b) - g(a)}{b - a} We will calculate this for each interval provided.
