The average rate of change on the interval (5, 6) is 9. So the correct option is D.
<h3>How to find the average rate of change on the interval?</h3>
Here we want to find the average rate of change of f(x), the function on the table, on the interval (5, 6).
This is just:
I we look at the table we see that:
This is a system of equations.
If we subtract the second and first functions, we get:
From that we take two relations:
Now we can replace these two in the last equations so we get:
Now that we know the value of a:
The quadratic equation is:
Evaluating this in x = 6 we get:
And from the table we know that f(5) = 17, then the average rate of change is:
The correct option is D.
