Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall average - rate - of - change formula
The average rate of change of a function $y = f(x)$ over the interval $[a,b]$ is given by $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b - a}$.
Step2: Solve problem 65(a)
For $f(x)=-2x^{2}+4$ and the interval $[0,2]$, first find $f(0)$ and $f(2)$. $f(0)=-2(0)^{2}+4 = 4$. $f(2)=-2(2)^{2}+4=-2\times4 + 4=-8 + 4=-4$. Then the average rate of change is $\frac{f(2)-f(0)}{2 - 0}=\frac{-4 - 4}{2}=\frac{-8}{2}=-4$.
Step3: Solve problem 65(b)
For the interval $[1,3]$, find $f(1)$ and $f(3)$. $f(1)=-2(1)^{2}+4=-2 + 4 = 2$. $f(3)=-2(3)^{2}+4=-2\times9+4=-18 + 4=-14$. The average rate of change is $\frac{f(3)-f(1)}{3 - 1}=\frac{-14 - 2}{2}=\frac{-16}{2}=-8$.
Step4: Solve problem 65(c)
For the interval $[1,4]$, find $f(1)$ and $f(4)$. $f(1)=2$ (from above), $f(4)=-2(4)^{2}+4=-2\times16+4=-32 + 4=-28$. The average rate of change is $\frac{f(4)-f(1)}{4 - 1}=\frac{-28 - 2}{3}=\frac{-30}{3}=-10$.
Answer:
65(a): -4 65(b): -8 65(c): -10
