b) The average rate of change of the function $f(x)=7 x^{3}+7$ over the interval $[-4,4]$ is (Simplify your answer.)
Final Answer: \(\boxed{112.0}\)
Step 1 :Given the function \(f(x) = 7x^3 + 7\) and the interval \([-4, 4]\).
Step 2 :The average rate of change of a function over an interval \([a, b]\) is given by the formula: \[\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}\]
Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \[\frac{f(4) - f(-4)}{4 - (-4)}\]
Step 4 :Simplify the expression to get the average rate of change.
Step 5 :The average rate of change of the function over the interval \([-4, 4]\) is 112.0.
Step 6 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{112.0}\)
