Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
**This is a non-linear function and therefore <u>does not have a constant rate of change</u>. It will have a different slope depending on what points you use in the average rate of change formula:
To calculate rate of change, differentiate.
substitute y for
:

Take natural logs of both sides:

Apply the log rule
:

Differentiate with respect to
:

Mulitply both sides by
:

Replace
with 

Therefore, rate of change of the function is :
