The temperature of a metal rod, 4m long is given by:
T(x) = (x-4)^2
where x is the temperature in meters form one end of the rod.
What the hell is the average temperature of the rod and at what position along the rod is the actual temperature equal to three quarters of the average temperature??

Integrate the function, evaluate it over the interval and divide by the length. That gives you the average. Then you set the function equal to the average and solve for x.

Temperatures in meters ?
Quite stupid.

You're right....stupid question
if you're talking about metal expansion, then you still have to tell us the type of metal but that is way beyond math, more into physics.

On a scale of one to ten, it's an asparagus.
