The rate of change of the function over the interval [ 4, 8 ] will be 6.
What is the rate of change of the function?
The rate of change function represents the rate at which one quantity changes in relation to another. Simply put, the rate of change is the difference between the amount of change in one item and the comparable amount of change in another.
Given function:-
The formula for calculating the rate of change will be given as:-
[tex]ROC = \dfrac{F(x_2)-F(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We have x₁ = 4 and x₂ = 8 given in the question
F(x₂) = x²₂ - 6x₂ + 10 = (8)² - ( 6 x 8 ) + 10 =
F(x₂) = 64 - 48 + 10
F(x₂) = 26
F(x₁) = x²₁ - 6x₁ + 10 = (4)² - ( 6 x 4 ) + 10 =
F(x₁) = 16 - 24 + 10
F(x₁) = 2
[tex]ROC = \dfrac{F(x_2)-F(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]ROC = \dfrac{26 -2}{8-4}=\dfrac{24}{4}=6[/tex]
Therefore the rate of change of the function over the interval [ 4, 8 ] will be 6.
