ANSWER

See explanation.

EXPLANATION

Step 1

Graph each of the functions.

$f(x) = ( \frac{1}{2} )^{x - 3}$

and

$g(x) = 3x + 5$

Step 2

Look for the point of intersection of the two graphs.

From the graph, the two functions intersected at

(0.38,6.14)

What is the rate of change between the interval of x = 3 pi over 2 and x = 2π?

Check the picture below.

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
x_1=\frac{3\pi }{2}\\
x_2=2\pi 
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(2\pi )-f\left( \frac{3\pi }{2} \right)}{2\pi -\frac{3\pi }{2} }\implies \cfrac{3-1}{\frac{4\pi -3\pi }{2}}\implies \cfrac{2}{\quad \frac{\pi}{2}\quad }\implies \cfrac{4}{\pi }$
