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 g(x)g(x) from x=0x = 0 to x=6x = 6, we use the formula for the average rate of change:

Average rate of change=g(x2)g(x1)x2x1\text{Average rate of change} = \frac{g(x_2) - g(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}

Given:

  • x1=0x_1 = 0, g(0)=2g(0) = 2
  • x2=6x_2 = 6, g(6)=4g(6) = 4

Now, substitute the 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}

Thus, the average rate of change of g(x)g(x) from x=0x = 0 to x=6x = 6 is 13\frac{1}{3}.
