Question

Given the function g(x) = x2 + 10x + 18, determine the average rate of change of
the function over the interval -11 < x < -1.

Answer 1

Answer:

-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change of the function = [ f(-1) - f(-11)] / [(-1 - (-11)]

= [(-1)^2 + 10*-1 + 18 - ((-11)^2 + 10*-11 + 18)] / 10

= (1 - 10 + 18 - (121 - 110 + 18) / 10

= (9 - (29) /10

= -20/10

= -2.
