Answer:
average rate of change is 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the average rate of change in an interval [x1, x2], is defined as:
[f(x2)-f(x1)] / (x2 - x1)
which for the interval [0, 2] becomes:
[f(2)-f(0)] / (2 - 0)
From the graph we read that f(0)= 1 and f(2) = 4, therefore:
[f(2)-f(0)] / (2 - 0) = [4 - 1] / 2 = 3/2
