Q. What is the average value of h(x)=x3+7x2+32x25x+4 h(x)=\frac{x^{3}+7 x^{2}+3}{2 x^{2}-5 x+4} on the interval [8,2] [-8,-2] ?\newlineUse a graphing calculator and round your answer to three decimal places.
  1. Calculate h(8)h(-8): Calculate h(8)h(-8) using the graphing calculator.\newlineh(8)=((8)3+7(8)2+3)/(2(8)25(8)+4)h(-8) = ((-8)^3 + 7*(-8)^2 + 3) / (2*(-8)^2 - 5*(-8) + 4)\newlineh(8)=((512)+7(64)+3)/(2(64)5(8)+4)h(-8) = ((-512) + 7*(64) + 3) / (2*(64) - 5*(-8) + 4)\newlineh(8)=((512)+448+3)/(128+40+4)h(-8) = ((-512) + 448 + 3) / (128 + 40 + 4)\newlineh(8)=(61)/(172)h(-8) = (-61) / (172)\newlineh(8)0.355h(-8) \approx -0.355 (rounded to three decimal places)
  2. Calculate h(2)h(-2): Calculate h(2)h(-2) using the graphing calculator.\newlineh(2)=((2)3+7(2)2+3)/(2(2)25(2)+4)h(-2) = ((-2)^3 + 7*(-2)^2 + 3) / (2*(-2)^2 - 5*(-2) + 4)\newlineh(2)=((8)+7(4)+3)/(2(4)5(2)+4)h(-2) = ((-8) + 7*(4) + 3) / (2*(4) - 5*(-2) + 4)\newlineh(2)=(8+28+3)/(8+10+4)h(-2) = (-8 + 28 + 3) / (8 + 10 + 4)\newlineh(2)=23/22h(-2) = 23 / 22\newlineh(2)1.045h(-2) ≈ 1.045 (rounded to three decimal places)
  3. Find average value: Find the average value of h(x)h(x) over the interval [8,2][-8,-2].\newlineAverage value = h(2)h(8)2(8)\frac{h(-2) - h(-8)}{-2 - (-8)}\newlineAverage value = 1.045(0.355)6\frac{1.045 - (-0.355)}{6}\newlineAverage value = 1.045+0.3556\frac{1.045 + 0.355}{6}\newlineAverage value = 1.46\frac{1.4}{6}\newlineAverage value 0.233\approx 0.233 (rounded to three decimal places)
