Answer

The average value of \(7f(x)\) from \(x=-2\) to \(x=3\) is \(\boxed{63}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Suppose \(\int_{-2}^{3} f(x) d x=45\)

Step 2 :The average value of a function \(f(x)\) from \(a\) to \(b\) is given by \(\frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx\)

Step 3 :Given that \(\int_{-2}^{3} f(x) dx = 45\), we can substitute this into the formula to find the average value of \(7f(x)\) from \(x=-2\) to \(x=3\)

Step 4 :The 7 is a constant multiplier, so it can be taken out of the integral, giving us \(7 \times \frac{1}{3 - (-2)} \times 45\)

Step 5 :The average value of \(7f(x)\) from \(x=-2\) to \(x=3\) is \(\boxed{63}\)
