Calculate Average Rate of Change: To determine the concavity of the graph of function f, we need to look at the average rate of change between consecutive x-values and see if it is increasing or decreasing. The average rate of change is the change in f(x) divided by the change in x, which is equivalent to the slope between two points on the graph of f.
Interval x=5 to x=6: First, let's calculate the average rate of change between x=5 and x=6.Average rate of change = 6−5f(6)−f(5)=1−27−(−17)=−10.
Interval x=6 to x=7: Next, calculate the average rate of change between x=6 and x=7.Average rate of change = 7−6f(7)−f(6)=1(−39−(−27))=−12.
Interval x=7 to x=8: Now, calculate the average rate of change between x=7 and x=8.Average rate of change = 8−7f(8)−f(7)=1(−53−(−39))=−14.
Interval x=8 to x=9: Continue this process for the interval between x=8 and x=9.Average rate of change = 9−8f(9)−f(8)=1−69−(−53)=−16.
Interval x=9 to x=10: Finally, calculate the average rate of change between x=9 and x=10.Average rate of change = 10−9f(10)−f(9)=1−87−(−69)=−18.
Observation of Concavity: We observe that the average rate of change is decreasing as x increases (from −10 to −12 to −14 to −16 to −18). This indicates that the graph of f is becoming steeper as x increases, which is characteristic of a graph that is concave down.
