Average Rates of Change


In Exercises 1–6, find the average rate of change of the function over the given interval or intervals.


f(x)=x³+1


a. [2, 3]

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the function given: \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \).
Recall the formula for the average rate of change of a function \( f(x) \) over an interval \([a, b]\): \( \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} \).
Substitute the interval values into the formula: here \( a = 2 \) and \( b = 3 \).
Calculate \( f(2) \) by substituting \( x = 2 \) into the function: \( f(2) = 2^3 + 1 \).
Calculate \( f(3) \) by substituting \( x = 3 \) into the function: \( f(3) = 3^3 + 1 \).

Average Rate of Change

The average rate of change of a function over an interval [a, b] is defined as the change in the function's value divided by the change in the input value. Mathematically, it is expressed as (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a). This concept is crucial for understanding how a function behaves over a specific range and is often used to analyze the function's growth or decline.

Function Evaluation

Function evaluation involves substituting a specific value into a function to determine its output. For the function f(x) = x³ + 1, evaluating it at points a and b (in this case, 2 and 3) allows us to find the corresponding function values f(2) and f(3). This step is essential for calculating the average rate of change.

Polynomial Functions

Polynomial functions are mathematical expressions that involve variables raised to whole number powers, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The function f(x) = x³ + 1 is a cubic polynomial, which means its graph can exhibit various behaviors, such as turning points and inflection points. Understanding the properties of polynomial functions helps in analyzing their rates of change and overall behavior.
