Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The average rate of change of function g(t) over the interval
The average rate is defined as if one function is changing with respect to other function.
For the above case Average rate of change is equal to change in
If
Now curve
And
From equation (1) and (2) it is concluded that the rate of change is the slope of the secant line through the point
