Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that: 

Graph of the function f(x) :

Calculus homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Step 2

By using,

Average value of the function:

The average height of the graph of a function , Foy y = f (x) over the interval [ a, b], the formula given by,

Average = 1b-a ab f(x) dx .

Area of rectangle = l ×b

Area of trapezium = 12 ( a+ b)h

Step 3

d ) To find the average value of f over the interval [2, 6]:

Bu using the graph of the function f(x),

Average value for [ 2, 6]:

By using the above formula,

Average = 1b-a ab f(x) dx

              = 16-2 26 f(x) dx= 14 26 f(x) dx

 

Step 4

26 f(x) dx  = Area between x = 2 to x = 6

                    = Area of rectangle between x = 2 to x = 4 + Area of trapezium between x = 4 to x = 5 + Area of rectangle                            between x = 5 to x = 6.

[ 2, 4] = Rectangle 

Area of rectangle = l×b = 2 ×2 = 4

24 f(x) dx  = 4

[ 4, 5] = Trapezium

Area of trapezium = 12 ( a+ b)h
