Answer:
Option A is correct, i.e. 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is the table of x&y relationship which represents an exponential function.
The average rate of change for a function can be found using the following formula:-
F_average = { f(b) - f(a) } / (b-a)
Given a = 3 and b = 5.
From the table, f(3) = 8 and f(5) = 32.
So, F_average = (32-8)/(5-3)
F_average = 24/2 = 12.
Hence, option A is correct, i.e. 12.
