URGENT PLEASE HELP IM BEGGING YOU In this activity, you will find and interpret the average rate of change of a polynomial function.

Part A

The polynomial function y = -0.00584 +0.05x3 -0.086x2 - 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.

The average rate of change from year 0 to year 2 is

The average rate of change from year 3 to year 6 is

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change describes the average rate at which gas price in dollars per gallon is changing with respect to time (years)

The given polynomial function is

Calculate the average rate of change from year 0 to year 2.

For year x = 0

For year x = 2

The average rate of change from year 0 to year 2 is

The negative sign indicates that the gas price has decreased from year 0 to year 2.

The average rate of change from year 3 to year 6 is

For year x = 3

For year x = 6

The average rate of change from year 3 to year 6 is

The negative sign indicates that the gas price has decreased from year 0 to year 2.
