Question

This table shows values that represent an exponential function.
What is the average rate of change for this function for the interval from x = 1
to x = 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step Explanation:

To find the average rate of change of the exponential function represented by the table of values above can be calculated using the general formula for average rate of change of a function, which is given as $m = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Where,

$a = 1, f(1) = 7$

$b = 3, f(3) = 13$

Plug in the above values in the average rate of change formula:

$m = \frac{13 - 7}{3 - 1}$

$m = \frac{6}{2}$

$m = 3$

Average rate of change is B. 3
