None of the offered choices is correct.
f(3) = 0.02·2³ = 0.02·8 = 0.16
f(8) = 0.02·2⁸ = 0.02·256 = 5.12
Then the average rate of change is
... (f(8) - f(3))/(8 - 3) = (5.12 -0.16)/5 = 4.96/5 = 0.992
the answer is A, sorry if you can't read it quite well
Hey! So, here's a tip. When writing exponents, an easier way is to write a^b, rather than a to the b power. Besides that, here is your answer!
So-------
9^3=729
3^2=9
6^3=216
15^2=225
Now that we have that figured out, we can add them together, wish is simple. 729 + 9 + 216 + 225= 1,179.
Therefore, your final answer will be 1,174.
If you have any questions on this, I'm happy to help you. :)
