Select the correct answer.

what is the approximate average rate of change of the function p(x)=(6x-4)/x on the interval [1,3]?

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function = p(x) = (6x-4)/x

First we will calculate p(1) and p(3)

p(1) = (6(1) - 4)/1 = 6-4 = 2

p(3) = (6(3) - 4)/3 = (18-4)/3 = 14/3

Rate of change on interval [1,3] = [p(3) - p(1)]/(3-1)

=> (14/3 -2)/(2)

=> (14-6)/(3*2)

=> 8/6

=> 4/3

So average rate of change is 4/3

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
