Q. Given the function g(x)=x26x+14 g(x)=-x^{2}-6 x+14 , determine the average rate of change of the function over the interval 5x2 -5 \leq x \leq 2 .\newlineAnswer:
  1. Define Function: We have the function g(x)=x26x+14g(x) = -x^2 - 6x + 14. To find the average rate of change over the interval [5,2][-5, 2], we will use the formula for the average rate of change, which is (g(b)g(a))/(ba)(g(b) - g(a)) / (b - a), where aa and bb are the endpoints of the interval.
  2. Find g(5)g(-5): First, we need to find the value of g(5)g(-5). We substitute x=5x = -5 into the function g(x)g(x).
    g(5)=(5)26(5)+14g(-5) = -(-5)^2 - 6(-5) + 14
    g(5)=(25)+30+14g(-5) = -(25) + 30 + 14
    g(5)=25+30+14g(-5) = -25 + 30 + 14
    g(5)=5+14g(-5) = 5 + 14
    g(5)=19g(-5) = 19
  3. Find g(2)g(2): Next, we need to find the value of g(2)g(2). We substitute x=2x = 2 into the function g(x)g(x).
    g(2)=(2)26(2)+14g(2) = -(2)^2 - 6(2) + 14
    g(2)=412+14g(2) = -4 - 12 + 14
    g(2)=16+14g(2) = -16 + 14
    g(2)=2g(2) = -2
  4. Calculate Average Rate of Change: Now we have the values g(5)=19g(-5) = 19 and g(2)=2g(2) = -2. We can calculate the average rate of change using the formula (g(b)g(a))/(ba)(g(b) - g(a)) / (b - a) with a=5a = -5 and b=2b = 2.\newlineAverage rate of change = (g(2)g(5))/(2(5))(g(2) - g(-5)) / (2 - (-5))\newlineAverage rate of change = (219)/(2(5))(-2 - 19) / (2 - (-5))\newlineAverage rate of change = (21)/(7)(-21) / (7)\newlineAverage rate of change = 3-3
