question 30

Multiple Choice

Calculate the average rate of change of the given function over the intervals , where h = 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001. (It will be easier to do this if you first simplify the difference quotient ( dq ) as much as possible.) Complete the table.

• A)dq -0.3000 -0.3529 0.0000 0.0000 -0.3600
• B)dq 1.5000 17.6471 179.6407 1,799.6401 17,999.6400
• C)dq -0.3000 -0.3529 -0.3593 -0.3599 0.0000
• D)dq -1.8000 -18.0000 -180.0000 -1,800.0000 -18,000.0000
• E)dq -0.3000 -0.3529 -0.3593 -0.3599 -0.3600
