- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardaThe average rate of change of a function f between x=a and x=b is the slope of the ___________ line between (a,f(a)) and (b,f(b)).arrow_forwardUse the table of values you made in part 4 of the example to find the limiting value of the average rate of change in velocity.arrow_forward
- Can the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardDoes a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?arrow_forwardFind the average rate of change of f(x)=x2x on the interval [1,9] .arrow_forward
- A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, find the average rate of change of each function on the interval specified. 31. g(x)=3x31on[-3,3]arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, find the average rate of change of each function on the interval specified for real numbers b or h in simplest form. 14. r(t)=4t3on[2,2+h]arrow_forward
