Answered by maham237 @



we know that

The average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval [a,b] is equal to

 \frac{(f(b)-f(a))}{(b-a)}

in this problem

 f(x)=17 -x^{2}

interval [a,b]---------->  [1,5]

for  x=1

 f(1)=17 -1^{2} =16

for  x=5

 f(5)=17 -5^{2} =-8

substitute the values

 \frac{(f(b)-f(a))}{(b-a)}

 \frac{(-8-16)}{(5-1)}

 =-6

therefore

the answer is

The average rate of change is equal to  -6
