Question
Find the average value of the function on the given interval.$$f(x)=2+|x| ; \quad[-2,1]$$
Step 1
Step 1: The average value of a function $f(x)$ on the interval $[a,b]$ is given by the formula: $$\bar{f}=\frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx$$ In this case, $f(x)=2+|x|$, $a=-2$, and $b=1$. Show more…
