Average rate of change from a to b of f(x):

Use long division to arrive at the result:
x-1 | x^3+x-2
x goes into x^3 x^2 times
(x-1)x^2 = x^3 - x^2
x^2+x-2 is what's left.
x-1 | x^2 +x -2
x goes into x^2 x times

(x-1) * x = x^2-x
2x -2 is whats left.
x goes into 2x 2 times.
2*(x-1) = 2x-2
So there's nothing left (remainder of 0)
giving us x^2+x+2

x^2+x+2. Choice B

Hi,

f(x)=x³+x, find the average rate of change of f from 1 to x: 

f(x) - f(1)/(x-1) = 

Note:x^3 + x - 2 ,  x = 1 a root 0r (x-1) a factor 

using Synthetic Divsion

1	1	0	1	-2

 	 	1	1	2

 	1	1	2	0

generates the factor

  x^2 + x + 2
