Question 978021: Two students in your class, Tucker and Karly, are disputing a function. Tucker says that for the function, between x = –3 and x = 3, the average rate of change is 0. Karly says that for the function, between x = –3 and x = 3, the graph goes up through a turning point, and then back down. Explain how Tucker and Karly can both be correct, using complete sentences.
