The function y = f(x) is graphed below. What is the average rate of change of the function f(x) on the interval -5 ≤ x ≤ 4?
To find the average rate of change of the function f(x) on the interval [-5, 4], we use the formula:
Average Rate of Change = (f(4) - f(-5)) / (4 - (-5))
From the graph:
Substitute these values into the formula:
Average Rate of Change = (-20 - 30) / (4 + 5) = -50 / 9 ≈ -5.56
