Question

How do you find the average rate of change for the function `s(t)=4.5t^2` on the indicated intervals [6,12]?

Answer 1

Average Rate of Change = 81

Explanation:

Average rate of change of a function is can be found using the same method as finding the slope of linear function which is;
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Hence, the average rate of change of this function is

`Deltas(t)=(s(12)-s(6))/(12-6)=(648-162)/(12-6)=81`

Hope this helps :)
