activity
in this activity, you will find and interpret the average rate of change of a polynomial function.
part a
the polynomial function y = -0.005x4 +0.05x2 - 0.086x? - 0.04x + 2.52 represents the fluctuating gas price (in dollars per
gallon) in a city over the course of 6 years. calculate the average rate of change from year 0 to year 2, and then calculate
the average rate of change from year 3 to year 6.
