This table shows values that represent an exponential function. What is the average rate of change for this function for the interval from x=3 to x=5? a. 8 b. 12 c. 6 d. 16

Answer:
[tex]\boxed{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When x = 3, y = 13
When x = 5, y = 37
Subtract both y-values to find the change:
37 - 13 = 24
Average of the change:
[tex]\frac{24}{2}[/tex] = 12
