Answer:
A) -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing graph is attached.
The possible answers were:
-1
-2
-3
-4
The average rate of change of a function f(x) on a≤x≤b is given by:
[tex] \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} [/tex]
We want to find the best estimate of the average rate of change for the quadratic function on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 4.
From the graph, f(0)=0 and f(4)=-4
[tex] \frac{f(4) - f(0)}{4 - 0} = \frac{ - 4 - 0}{4 - 0} = \frac{ - 4}{4} = - 1[/tex]
