What is the rate of change from x = 0 to x = pi over 2?
trig graph with points at 0, negative 4 and pi over 2, 0 and pi, 4 and 3 pi over 2, 0 and 2 pi, negative 4
Choices:
8 over pi
pi over 8
negative 8 over pi
negative pi over 8
+9466 I think the points on the graph are:
(0, negative 4) and (pi over 2, 0) and (pi, 4) and (3 pi over 2, 0 ) and (2 pi, negative 4)
There is the point (0, -4) . So, when x = 0 , y = -4 .
There is the point (\(\frac{\pi}{2}\), 0) . So, when x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) , y = 0 .
average rate of change = \(\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}=\frac{-4 - 0}{0 - \frac{\pi}{2}}=\frac{4}{\frac{\pi}{2}}=4\cdot\frac2{\pi}=\frac8{\pi}\)
Here's a graph.
