Given the function $$h\left(x\right)=-x^2-x+5$$ determine the average rate of change of the function over the interval $$-6\le x\le2$$ .

How will you do this?

Multiple Choice

Given the function $$h\left(x\right)=-x^2-x+5$$ determine the average rate of change of the function over the interval $$-6\le x\le2$$ .

• $$\frac{-1--25}{2--6}=\frac{24}{8}=3$$

• $$\frac{-25--1}{6--2}=-\frac{24}{8}=-3$$

• $$\frac{2--6}{-25--1}=\frac{8}{-24}=-\frac{1}{3}$$

Multiple Choice

Given the function $$f\left(x\right)=x^2+3x-1$$ , determine the average rate of change of the function over the interval $$-3\le x\le4$$ .

• $$\frac{4--3}{27--1}=\frac{7}{28}=\frac{1}{4}$$

• $$\frac{-1-27}{4--3}=\frac{-28}{7}=-4$$

• $$\frac{27--1}{4--3}=\frac{28}{7}=4$$
