Answer: -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change is [tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]. All we have to do is to plug in our values.
a=-2
b=-1
f(b)=f(-1)=(-1)²+10=11
f(a)=f(-2)=(-2)²+10=14
With our values listed, all he have to do is to plug them in.
[tex]\frac{11-14}{-1-(-2)} =\frac{-3}{1}=-3[/tex]
