Math Problem Statement

Given the tables for & below, find the following:

0 2 8 1 3 5 2 1 4 3 8 0 4 7 6 5 9 9 6 4 2 7 6 3 8 5 1 9 0 7

Average rate of change of g from x = 0 to x = 6 is

Solution

To find the average rate of change of a function g(x)g(x) from x=ax = a to x=bx = b, we use the formula:

Average Rate of Change=g(b)g(a)ba\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{g(b) - g(a)}{b - a}

In your case, a=0a = 0 and b=6b = 6. Using the table, we have:

  • g(0)=2g(0) = 2
  • g(6)=4g(6) = 4

Now, substitute these values into the formula:

Average Rate of Change=g(6)g(0)60=426=26=13\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{g(6) - g(0)}{6 - 0} = \frac{4 - 2}{6} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

So, the average rate of change of gg from x=0x = 0 to x=6x = 6 is 13\frac{1}{3}.

  2. How does the average rate of change differ from the instantaneous rate of change?
  3. Can you explain why the average rate of change formula resembles the slope formula?
  4. How would you interpret the average rate of change if it was negative?

Tip: The average rate of change gives the overall trend of a function over an interval, much like the slope between two points on a graph.
