99 POINTS!!! 99 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!

the table of values represents a quadratic function

X | F(x)

---------

-10| 184

-5| 39

0| -6

5 | 49

10| 204


What is the average rate of change for f(X) from x=-5 to x=10??

Verified Answer :

easy

remember
the rate of change or slope between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

so bewteen x=-5 and x=10
slope=(f(10)-f(5))/(10-(-5))

f(10)=204
f(-5)=39

slope=(204-39)/(10-(-5))=165/(10+5)=165/15=11


average rate of change is 11
