Question

I've been having trouble in my lessons and I need a bit of help. If someone could explain how to do the problem, or work with me to solve it. Either would be amazing!

Given the function h(x) = 3(5)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3.

Part A: Find the average rate of change of each section.

Part B: How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A? Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other.

Answer 1

Sorry if this isnt helpful: Im just going off stuff i learned to see if this will help you at all. Im only in 7th so.. Sorry in advance!!

Explanation:

To find the rate, you need to create a unit rate table thing, like this:

5/3 = ?/1 To do this, you would need to divide 5 by 3 and 3 by 3 to get y and x. You get: 1.666 continued. Rounded, about 1.7 . so your unit rate for part A is 1.7/1. You would do the same thing. 2/3 = ?/1. I will let you solve that :)))

Finished A! Now B:

To compare, we use the butterfly method! so 1.7/1 o ?1. cross multiply, and whichever number is bigger comes on top. Then you would explain why that number is bigger. BAM
