Given f(x)=17-x2, what is the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [1, 5]?

- 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

here [ a, b ] = [ 1, 5 ]

f(b) = f(5) = 17 - 5² = - 8

f(a) = f(1) = 17 - 1² = 16

average rate of change = = = - 6
