Question

Given the function defined in the table below, find the average rate of change, simplest form, of the function over the interval 1 < < 5. 0 3 1 9 2. 3 81 243 729 Submit Answer

Answer 1

To find the average rate of change we use this equation:

`(f(5)-f(1))/(5-1)`

so with the table we replace the value of f(5) and f(0) so:

`(729-9)/(5-1)=(720)/(4)=180`
