This table shows values represented by an exponential function.

What is the average rate of change for this function for the interval from x=1 to x=3?

(Yes, I know I am giving a lot of points for this.)

Answer:

  • 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change from x = 1 to x = 3 is:

  • difference of y-values / difference of x-values =
  • ('y at x = 3' - 'y at x = 1') / ( 3 - 1) =
  • (27 - 3) / 2 =
  • 24/2 =
  • 12

Points are

  • (1,3)
  • (3,27)

Rate of change means we need to find slope

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{27-3}{3-1}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{24}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 12[/tex]
