Question

Consider the exponential functions below.

Answer 1

The functions in order from least to greatest according to their average rates of change are function f at the interval [1,2], function h at the interval [0,2] and function g at the interval [2,3]

How to order the functions?

The rate of change is calculated using:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

For function g at the interval [2,3], we have:

$m = \frac{g(3) - g(2)}{3- 2}$

This gives

$m = \frac{20 - 4}{3- 2}$

$m =16$

For function h at the interval [0,2], we have:

$m = \frac{h(2) - h(0)}{2- 0}$

Where:

h(2) = 3(3)^2 - 9 = 18

h(0) = 3(3)^0 - 9 = -6

This gives

$m = \frac{18 + 6}{2 - 0}$

$m = 12$

For function f at the interval [1,2], we have:

$m = \frac{f(2) - f(1)}{2- 1}$

This gives

$m = \frac{12 - 6}{2 - 1}$

$m = 6$

Hence, the functions are function f at the interval [1,2], function h at the interval [0,2] and function g at the interval [2,3]
