--------------------------------------
g
(x)=−2x^2+2
between the points (-1,0) and (1,0)
---------------------------------------

g(x), average change between those two points:
%28%28-2%281%29%5E2%2B2%29-%28-2%28-1%29%5E2%2B2%29%29%2F2
%28-2%2B2-%28-2%2B2%29%29%2F2
%280-0%29%2F2
highlight%280%29--------------you might be able to see this without evaluating if you recognize from the definition of g that the two given points have the same y value.
