- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of h(x) in the closed interval [a, b ] is

Here [a, b ] = [1, 8 ], thus

f(b) = f(8) = - 8² + 7(8) + 14 = - 64 + 56 + 14 = 6

f(a) = f(1) = - 1² + 7(1) + 14 = - 1 + 7 + 14 = 20

average rate of change = = = - 2

the answer is simply just 6n add the two together as they have an n

answer: 12,000

step-by-step explanation: first you ar e supposed to add. then multiply then subtract
