Answer:
- 1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of g(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is
[tex]\frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
Here [ a, b ] = [ - 4, 1 ] , then
g(b) = g(1) = - 3 ( value of g(t) when t = 1 ]
g(a) = g(- 4) = 4 ( value of g(t) when t = - 4 )
average rate of change = [tex]\frac{-3-4}{1-(-4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-7}{5}[/tex] = - 1.4
