Question

Find the rate of change of f(x) = x² - 2x + 3 on [-1,2].

Answer 1

Answer:

-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change = [ f(2) - f(-1)] / [2 - (-1)]

                          = [(2)^2 - 2(2) + 3)  - ((-1)^2  - 2(-1) + 3] / 3

                           = ( 3 - 6)/3

                            = -1.
