Find the average rate of change of f(x) = x^2 - 4x from x_1 = 5 to x_2 = 9.

검증된 단계별 안내

Step 1: Recall the formula for the average rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval [x₁, x₂]. The formula is: (f(x₂) - f(x₁)) / (x₂ - x₁).

Step 2: Substitute the given values x₁ = 5 and x₂ = 9 into the formula. This gives: (f(9) - f(5)) / (9 - 5).

Step 3: Evaluate f(9) by substituting x = 9 into the function f(x) = x² - 4x. This results in f(9) = 9² - 4(9).

Step 4: Similarly, evaluate f(5) by substituting x = 5 into the function f(x) = x² - 4x. This results in f(5) = 5² - 4(5).

Step 5: Simplify the numerator (f(9) - f(5)) and the denominator (9 - 5), then divide the results to find the average rate of change.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Average Rate of Change

The average rate of change of a function over an interval is calculated as the change in the function's value divided by the change in the input value. Mathematically, it is expressed as (f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1). This concept is essential for understanding how a function behaves over a specific range.

Function Evaluation

Function evaluation involves substituting a specific value into a function to determine its output. For the function f(x) = x^2 - 4x, evaluating it at x = 5 and x = 9 will provide the necessary values to compute the average rate of change. This step is crucial for applying the average rate of change formula.

Quadratic Functions

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree two, typically expressed in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c. The function f(x) = x^2 - 4x is a quadratic function, and its graph is a parabola. Understanding the properties of quadratic functions, such as their shape and vertex, can provide insights into their behavior over different intervals.

In Exercises 51–54, graph the given square root functions, f and g, in the same rectangular coordinate system. Use the integer values of x given to the right of each function to obtain ordered pairs. Because only nonnegative numbers have square roots that are real numbers, be sure that each graph appears only for values of x that cause the expression under the radical sign to be greater than or equal to zero. Once you have obtained your graphs, describe how the graph of g is related to the graph of f. f(x) = √x (x = 0, 1, 4, 9) and g (x) = √(x + 2) (x = = −2, −1, 2, 7)
