Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related Pre CAL.5 Average Rate of Change and the Difference Quotient skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

The average rate of change of f on [-2, 1] is -2. Which statement is correct?

Af(1) = f(-2) - -2(3)

Bf(1) = -2 + f(-2)

Cf(-2) = f(1) + -2(3)

Df(1) = f(-2) + -2(3)

Solution & Explanation:Rewrite r = (f(b) - f(a)) divided by (b - a) as f(b) = f(a) + r(b - a).

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Suppose a one-to-one function f has average rate of change -3 from x = a to x = b (with a < b). What is the average rate of change of the inverse function f inverse from y = f(a) to y = f(b)?

A-3

C-0.3333

Solution & Explanation:For the inverse, input and output swap. The secant slope becomes the reciprocal: (b-a) divided by (f(b)-f(a)) = 1 divided by m.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Let f(x) = square root of (x + 1). Simplify the difference quotient (f(x + h) - f(x)) divided by h. Write your simplified answer without a fraction bar (use the words 'divided by').

Solution & Explanation:Start with (sqrt(x+h+p) - sqrt(x+p)) divided by h. Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate (sqrt(x+h+p) + sqrt(x+p)). The numerator becomes h, which cancels with the h in the denominator, leaving 1 divided by (sqrt(x+h+p) + sqrt(x+p)).
