Calculate the average rate of change of the function over the interval and provide the relation of the function to a secant line.

Answer to Problem 1GYR
The average rate of change of the function is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The function is
The interval from
Calculation:
Calculate the average rate of change of the function
Hence, the average rate of change of the function is
The slope of the line through the points
A line joining the points
That is the slope of secant line is identical to the average rate of change of the function.
