Question

This table shows values that represent an exponential function.What is the average rate of change for this interval from x=2 to x=4 A. 1/6B. 12C. 6D. 1/12

Answer 1

The average rate of change can be found below

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

where

a = 2

b = 4

Therefore,

$\frac{16-4}{4-2}=\frac{12}{2}=6$

C. 6
