Answer

a) $0$ b) $0$ c) all x between x = 0 and x = 0.5

Work Step by Step

a) average of change = $\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0}$ = $\frac{[1(1-1)]-[0(1-0)]}{1-0}$ = $0$ b) the instantaneous rate of change is zero c) the slope of the tangent line is positive between x = 0 and x = 0.5 so all x between x = 0 and x = 0.5
