Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of function f(x) on the interval [a, b] is ...
m = (f(b) -f(a))/(b -a)
We have ...
f(-1) = (-1)^5 -2(-1) +3 = -1 +2 +3 = 4
f(1) = (1)^5 -2(1) +3 = 1 -2 +3 = 2
Then the average rate of change is ...
m = (2 -4)/(1 -(-1)) = -2/2 = -1
The average rate of change on the given interval is -1.
