What is the average rate of change for f(x)?

Enter your answer as a fraction

The average rate of change is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see in the chart, for every four units rightward, the line goes up one unit.  That means f(x) has an average rate of change of 1/4.

each side has a different length.  

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
