Calculate the average rate of change of the function from 8

Calculate the average rate of change of the function from = 8 to = 6 . (Round your answer to two decimal places.) f() = 6 sin(6)

Solution

f() = 6 sin(6)

f(/8) = 6*sin(6/8) = 4.243

f(/6) = 6*sin() = 0

Use the slope formula to create the ratio [f(/6) - f(/8)]/[(/6) - (/8)]

= (0 - 4.243)/0.1309 = -32.414

the average rate of change of the function = -32.414
