Question 990216: find the average rate of change of the function between
b). Show that the average rate of change is the same as the slope of the line. x = a and x = a + h
f(x)=½x+3 Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! F(a)=(a)/2+3
F(a+h)=(a+h)/2 +3
{F(a+h)-F(a)}/h
and (a+h)/2+3-(a/2)-3=(a/2)+(h/2)-(a/2)=h/2
That is divided by h=(1/2)
As h approaches 0, it is not a factor.
The slope is (1/2).
