Question 1 (5 points) Calculate the average rate of change for the function between (a) x = -1 and x = 0 and

(b) between x = 1 and x = 3.

Answers: (a) m = 3 since

(B) m = -1 since

Question 2 (5 points)

For the Function f(x) shown below (a) Evaluate f(3) and f(0) (b) Solve for x when f(x) = 0 (c) Is f(1/2) positive or negative (d) Solve for x when f(x) > 0

Place Answers here Answers: (a) f(3) = -1 and f(0) = -4 (b) When f(x) - 0, x = -3 and 2 (c) f(1/2) is negative (d) f(x) is positive only when x < -3
