What is the average rate of change for function 1 in the interval of [4, 6]
? Response area
What is the average rate of change for function 2 in the interval of [4, 6]
? Response area
Which function has the greater rate of change in the interval of [4, 6]
? Response area
For Function 1:
Average rate of change from 4 to 6 is 1/2 or 0.5.
For Function 2:
Average rate of change from 4 to 6 is 0.5.
Therefore, both functions have the same rate of change in the interval [4, 6].
