Answer 1

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function $G(x)= -\dfrac{x^2}{4} + 7$, the average rate of change of g(x) over the interval [-2,4], is expressed as shown below;

Rate of change of the function is expressed as g(b)-g(a)/b-a

where a - -2 and b = 4

$G(4)= -\dfrac{4^2}{4} + 7\\G(4)= -\dfrac{16}{4} + 7\\G(4)= -4 + 7\\G(4) = 3$

$G(-2) = -\dfrac{(-2)^2}{4} + 7\\G(-2)= -\dfrac{4}{4} + 7\\G(-2)= -1 + 7\\G(-2)= 6$

average rate of change of g(x) over the interval [-2,4] will be;

$g'(x) = \frac{g(4)-g(-2)}{4-(-2)}\\ g'(x) = \frac{3-6}{6}\\\\g'(x) = -3/6\\g'(x) = -1/2$
