We are given the function:
g(x) = 6 (4)^x
Part A.
To get the average rate of change, we use the formula:
average rate of change = [g(x2) – g(x1)] / (x2 – x1)
Section A:
average rate of change = [6 (4)^1 – 6 (4)^0] / (1 – 0) =
18
Section B:
average rate of change = [6 (4)^3 – 6 (4)^2] / (3 – 2) =
288
Part B.
288 / 18 = 16
Therefore the average rate of change of Section B is 16 times
greater than in Section A.
<span>The average rate of change is greater between x = 2 to x = 3 than between
x = 1 and x = 0 because an exponential function's rate of change increases
with increasing x (not constant).</span>
You would divide 10.45 by .55 and you would get 19 so 19 is your answer hope this helps
The correct answer should be steeper
Divide the numerater by the denominater by the greatest commen facter
