Question

What is the average value of $y$ for the range of $x$ shown in the following plot?

The correct answer is
1.5

To find the average value of \( y \) for the given range of \( x \) from the plot, we need to understand the graph and calculate the average value over the specified interval.

From the plot, we can observe:

  • When \( x = -1 \), \( y = 2 \).
  • When \( x = 0 \), \( y = 1 \).
  • When \( x = 1 \), \( y = 2 \).

The function appears to be a V-shaped graph due to these points, indicating it’s a piecewise linear function.

The average value of \( y \) can be calculated as the mean of the values at these critical points:

\[\text{Average } y = \frac{2 + 1 + 2}{3}\]

Simplifying this expression:

\[\text{Average } y = \frac{5}{3} = 1.5\]

Hence, the average value of \( y \) over the range of \( x \) is 1.5.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1.5.
