Answer

Average value = 6 $x=\pm\sqrt{3}$

Work Step by Step

If $f$ is integrable on the closed interval $[a, b]$, then the average value of $f$ on the interval is $\displaystyle \frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx$. ----------------- Average value = $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3-(-3)}\int_{-3}^{3}(9-x^{2})dx$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}[9x-\frac{1}{3}x^{3}]_{-3}^{3}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}[(27-9)-(-27+9)]$ $=6$ To find x where f(x)=6, solve $9-x^{2}=6$ for x $x^{2}=9-6$ $x^{2}=3$ $x=\pm\sqrt{3}$
