Find the average rate of change of each function over the interval [0, 2]. Match each representation with its respective average rate of change.

Average rate of change over interval [a,b]: r=[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
In this case the interval is [0,2], then a=0, b=2
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/(2-0)
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/2

1) First function: h(x)
r=[h(2)-h(0)]/2
x=2→h(2)=(2)^2+2(2)-6
h(2)=4+4-6
h(2)=2
x=0→h(0)=(0)^2+2(0)-6
h(0)=0+0-6
h(0)=-6
r=[h(2)-h(0)]/2
r=[2-(-6)]/2
r=(2+6)/2
r=(8)/2
r=4

2) Second function: f(x)
A function, f, has an
x-intercept at (2,0)→x=2, f(2)=0
and a y-intercept at (0,-10)→x=0, f(0)=-10
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/2
r=[0-(-10)]/2
r=(0+10)/2
r=(10)/2
r=5

3) Third function: g(x)
r=[g(2)-g(0)]/2
From the graph:
g(2)=6
g(0)=2
r=(6-2)/2
r=(4)/2
r=2

4) Fourth function: j(x)
r=[j(2)-j(0)]/2
From the table:
x=2→j(2)=-8
x=0→j(0)=4
r=(-8-4)/2
r=(-12)/2
r=-6

Answer:
Pairs
1) h(x)     4
2) f(x)      5
3) g(x)     2
4) j(x)     -6
