The rate of change of the function  f(x) = |x-3| over the interval  [0,2]  is THIS ratio


    The rate of change =  = .    (1)



So, I calculate  f(2) = |2-3| = |-1| = 1   and   f(0) = |0 -3| = |-3| = 3

and then substitute these values into the formula (1)


    The rate of change = (continuation) =  =  = -1.      ANSWER

This part is done and completed.

I leave it to you to make similar work to find the rate of change of the given function over the other interval [4,5].

You may report me about your progress.

Is everything clear to you in my explanations ?
