It's been too long /sci/ I can't remember how to do this problem. Any ideas?

Let f(x)=x^2-2x+3. Find the average rate of change between (-4,f(-4)) and 1,f(1))).

>> No.2620280

Define rate of change.

>>2620280
If you don't know what rate of change is you probably shouldn't be here.

>> No.2620291

>>2620286
yes but theire are several different types of rate of change.
OP didn't specify which he meant.

>>2620291
sorry, i meant *their

>> No.2620298

just make a linear graph between those two points in the form of f(x)=mx+n and the 'm' is your average change.. .

op here, I'm not even sure. the assignment (omg I'm doing homework) doesn't say. That's the exact problem, word for work. It's basic precalc shit. Not even sure what types of RoC there are
