# Find the Average Value of the Function g(t)=t/( square root of 5+t^2) , [2,5]

,
To find the average value of a function, the function should be continuous on the closed interval . To find whether is continuous on or not, find the domain of .
Set the radicand in greater than or equal to to find where the expression is defined.
Solve for .
Subtract from both sides of the inequality.
Since the left side has an even power, it is always positive for all real numbers.
All real numbers
All real numbers
Set the denominator in equal to to find where the expression is undefined.
Solve for .
