C) 1
D) 2

Answer:

D) 2

The average rate of change of f(x)

A(x) =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the function f(x) = x² - 3x -10

Given x =a = -5   and y = b = 10

The average rate of change of f(x)

[tex]A(x) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

Step(ii):-

f(x) = x² - 3x -10

f(-5) = (-5)² - 3(-5) -10 = 25+15-10=30

f(10) = (10)² -3(10)-10 = 100 -30 -10 =60

The average rate of change of f(x)

[tex]A(x) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]A(x) = \frac{60-30}{10-(-5)}= \frac{30}{15} = 2[/tex]

A(x) =2
