Question

How do you find the average rate of change for the function `f(x)=x^+2` on the indicated intervals [0,2]?

Answer 1

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

The average rate of change of a function, `f` on an interval `[a,b]` is

`(Delta f)/(Delta x) = (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)`

So, we need

`(f(2)-f(0))/(2-0)`

Now, do the arithmetic.
