Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure you want your functions to appear as perfectly formed as possible so that others can help you. f(x) = 4(2)x should be written with the " ^ " sign to denote exponentation: f(x) = 4(2)^x
f(b) - f(a)
The formula for "average rate of change" is a.r.c. = --------------
b - a
change in function value
This is equivalent to ---------------------------------------
change in x value
For Section A: x changes from 1 to 2 and the function changes from 4(2)^1 to 4(2)^2: 8 to 16. Thus, "change in function value" is 8 for a 1-unit change in x from 1 to 2. Thus, in this Section, the a.r.c. is:
8
------ = 8 units (Section A)
1
Section B: x changes from 3 to 4, a net change of 1 unit: f(x) changes from
4(2)^3 to 4(2)^4, or 32 to 256, a net change of 224 units. Thus, the a.r.c. is
224 units
----------------- = 224 units (Section B)
1 unit
The a.r.c for Section B is 28 times greater than the a.r.c. for Section A.
This change in outcome is so great because the function f(x) is an exponential function; as x increases in unit steps, the function increases much faster (we say "exponentially").

Hey there!!
How do we solve this problem :
We will use the combinations formula to solve this :
c ( n , r ) where n = 11 and r = 2
c ( n , r ) = n ! / r ! ( n - r ) !
... 11 ! / 2 ! ( 11 - 2 ) !
... 11! / 2! × 9!
... 11! / 2 × 9!
... 11×10×9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2 / 2×9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2
... 11×10 / 2
... 11 × 5
... 55 combinations.
Hence, the required answer = 55 , option ( d )
Hope my answer helps!
