Find the average rate of change for the function.
​f(x)=1/x-3 between x=-4 and x=2
--------------
Is it ​f(x)= 1%2Fx-3 ?
or f(x)= 1%2F%28x-3%29
================
The average rate of change over any time​ interval, as x changes from -4 to 2​, is equal to f(2)-f(-4)/2-(-4).
==============================
Find f(2).
Find f(-4)
Subtract f(-4_ from f(2).
Divide by 6.
------------------------------
The average rate of change is_____? How do you think we could use this?
