Question

What is the average rate of change for this exponential function for the interval from x = 2 to x= 4 ?

(PLEASE HELP NEED ANSWER ASAP)

Answer 1

The answer is D. 6 . This is because it is a positive slope so you can cancel out B and C and then, you count your boxes

Answer 2

Option D) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that average rate of change will be given by

`Rate = (\Delta y)/(\Delta x)`

now here we know that

at x = 2 the value of y coordinate will be 4

also at x = 4 the value of y coordinate will be 16

now we know that

`Rate = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

`Rate = (16 - 4)/(4 - 2)`

`Rate = 6`

so rate of change of Y coordinate with respect to x coordinate will be 6
