SOLUTION: Calculate the average rate of change of the given function f over the intervals [a, a + h] where h = 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001. (Technology is recommended for the cases h = 0

Question 1118212: Calculate the average rate of change of the given function f over the intervals [a, a + h] where h = 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001. (Technology is recommended for the cases h = 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001.) (Round your answers to seven decimal places.)
f(x) = x^2/6
a = 1
