Answer:
The rate of change of the function is -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Function [tex]f(x)=0.5(-10x+24)[/tex]
To find : What is the average rate of change ?
Solution :
Function [tex]f(x)=0.5(-10x+24)[/tex]
The rate of change is the first derivative.
[tex]f(x)=-5x+12[/tex]
Derivate w.r.t. x,
[tex]f(x)=-5[/tex]
Therefore, The rate of change of the function is -5.
