x greater than negative 2, because ln(x) is undefined for x <= 0 (-2+2=0, -1.999...+2>0)
Average rate of change is the slope of two coordinate points or values.
Therefore,
Given values are :
(1960,668) and (1970,760)
Slope = (760 - 668)/(1970 - 1960)
Slope = 92/10
Rate of change will be 9.2 gallons/passenger
Plug each of the numbers into "X". -5*5= -25 -4= -29<16 the correct answer is 6. 5
