The function J is defined on the interval-5 0 and (c)=0. The graph of , which consists of three line segments and a quarter of a circle with center (-),0)and radius 2, is shown in the figure to the right. Graph of f Find the average rate of change of J over the interval [-5,0]. Show the computations that lead to your answer. For-5

Select the statement that is false about the difference quotient.   The difference quotient can be represented by f(x+h)−f(x)(x+h)−x or f(x+h)−f(x)h The difference quotient is a more general form of the average rate of change of a function on an interval h units long. The difference quotient describes the general behavior of a function over some interval h units long when the rate of change is not constant. As the value of h gets smaller and smaller, the value of the difference quotient becomes a better and better approximation of the average rate of change of a function f near (x,f(x)). As the value of h gets larger and larger, the value of the difference quotient becomes a better and better approximation of the average rate of change of a function f near (x,f(x)).
