<PRE><B>Question 1139189</B>
Find the average rate of change of f(x) = x to the 3rd power -2x +1 from 1 to 3
On the x with the 3 I could not get it to type correctly. It should be x with small 3 at the top of it. I need this solved with a step by step line by line explanation. 
-------
Use ^ for exponents.
f(x) = x^3 -2x +1 from 1 to 3
------
Find f(3)
Subtract f(1)
Divide by (3-1)
