Understanding Average Rate of Change

The video tutorial explains how to find the average rate of change using a table. It begins by identifying the points from the table and then explains the formula y2 - y1 over x2 - x1. The tutorial guides viewers through labeling the points and performing the calculation step-by-step, resulting in the average rate of change for the given interval.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Finding the minimum value of a function

• Finding the maximum value of a function

• Finding the average rate of change using a table

• Finding the average rate of change using a graph

What are the coordinates of the point when x is -5?

• (-5, 0)

• (-5, 5)

• (-5, 6)

• (-5, -6)

Which formula is used to calculate the average rate of change?

• y2 + y1 over x2 + x1

• y2 - y1 over x2 - x1

• x2 + x1 over y2 + y1

• x2 - x1 over y2 - y1

How do you label the first point in the formula?

• x1, y1

• y2, x2

• x2, y2

• y1, x1

Why is it important to label the points as x1, y1 and x2, y2?

• To avoid using the wrong formula

• To make the calculation more complex

• To correctly apply the formula for average rate of change

• To ensure the points are in alphabetical order

What happens if you switch the order of the points in the formula?

• The formula will not work

• The result will remain the same

• The result will be incorrect

• The calculation will be easier

What is the result of 0 minus 6 in the calculation?

• 3

• 6

• -6

• 0

What is the result of negative 2 plus 5?

• 0

• -3

• 3

• 7

What is the final average rate of change for the interval?

• 2

• -2

• 3

• -3
