What is the average rate of change for this quadratic function for the interval from x3 to x=5?
A.-16
B. -8
C. 16
D. 8
To find the average rate of change for the interval from x=3 to x=5, we need to calculate the change in the function values and divide by the change in x values.
For x=3 and x=5:
y(3) = -10
y(5) = -17
Change in y values: -17 - (-10) = -7
Change in x values: 5 - 3 = 2
Average rate of change = (-7) / 2 = -3.5
Therefore, the average rate of change for this quadratic function for the interval from x=3 to x=5 is -3.5.
