Here is the problem
A function is given. Determine the average rate of change of the function between the given values of the variable.
g(x)=9+1/2x; x=1, x=5
That is g(x)=9+one half times x
My thought is to plug each x value in and solve which would give me two points (x,y). Using those to points I would then find the slope, which would be the average rate of change of the function between the two variables.
Can someone tell me if that is how you solve this problem?
