Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\text{The average rate of change of function}\ f(x)\\\text{over the interval}\ a\leq x\leq b\ \text{is given by this expression:}\\\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\\\f(x)=2x^2-7x\\\\\text{Put the values of x = 2 and x = 6 to the equation of the function:}\\\\f(2)=2(2^2)-7(2)=2(4)-14=8-14=-6\\f(6)=2(6^2)-7(6)=2(36)-42=72-42=-30\\\\\dfrac{f(6)-f(2)}{6-2}=\dfrac{-30-(-6)}{4}=\dfrac{-24}{4}=-6[/tex]
