Q. Given the function h(x)=x2+7x+5 h(x)=x^{2}+7 x+5 , determine the average rate of change of the function over the interval 6x1 -6 \leq x \leq 1 .\newlineAnswer:
  1. Calculate Function Value at 6-6: To find the average rate of change of the function h(x)=x2+7x+5h(x) = x^2 + 7x + 5 over the interval from x=6x = -6 to x=1x = 1, we need to calculate the difference in the function values at these points and divide by the difference in the xx-values.
  2. Calculate Function Value at 11: First, we calculate the function value at x=6x = -6: h(6)=(6)2+7(6)+5h(-6) = (-6)^2 + 7*(-6) + 5.
  3. Find Difference in Function Values: Performing the calculation: h(6)=3642+5=1h(-6) = 36 - 42 + 5 = -1.
  4. Find Difference in X-Values: Next, we calculate the function value at x=1x = 1: h(1)=(1)2+7(1)+5h(1) = (1)^2 + 7*(1) + 5.
  5. Calculate Average Rate of Change: Performing the calculation: h(1)=1+7+5=13h(1) = 1 + 7 + 5 = 13.
  6. Calculate Average Rate of Change: Performing the calculation: h(1)=1+7+5=13h(1) = 1 + 7 + 5 = 13.Now, we find the difference in the function values: h(1)h(6)=13(1)=14h(1) - h(-6) = 13 - (-1) = 14.
  7. Calculate Average Rate of Change: Performing the calculation: h(1)=1+7+5=13h(1) = 1 + 7 + 5 = 13.Now, we find the difference in the function values: h(1)h(6)=13(1)=14h(1) - h(-6) = 13 - (-1) = 14.We also find the difference in the xx-values: 1(6)=1+6=71 - (-6) = 1 + 6 = 7.
  8. Calculate Average Rate of Change: Performing the calculation: h(1)=1+7+5=13h(1) = 1 + 7 + 5 = 13.Now, we find the difference in the function values: h(1)h(6)=13(1)=14h(1) - h(-6) = 13 - (-1) = 14.We also find the difference in the x-values: 1(6)=1+6=71 - (-6) = 1 + 6 = 7.Finally, we calculate the average rate of change by dividing the difference in function values by the difference in x-values: Average rate of change = (h(1)h(6))/(1(6))(h(1) - h(-6)) / (1 - (-6)).
  9. Calculate Average Rate of Change: Performing the calculation: h(1)=1+7+5=13h(1) = 1 + 7 + 5 = 13.Now, we find the difference in the function values: h(1)h(6)=13(1)=14h(1) - h(-6) = 13 - (-1) = 14.We also find the difference in the x-values: 1(6)=1+6=71 - (-6) = 1 + 6 = 7.Finally, we calculate the average rate of change by dividing the difference in function values by the difference in x-values: Average rate of change = (h(1)h(6))/(1(6))(h(1) - h(-6)) / (1 - (-6)).Performing the calculation: Average rate of change = 14/7=214 / 7 = 2.
