Answer:

there is not enough information to solve

Explanation:

You need two ordered pairs to calculate the average rate of change.

Let's say the value of the function at n = 1 is a, and the value of the function at n = 3 is b, then the average rate of change from n = 1 to n = 3 is

(b - a)/(3 - 1) = (b - a)/2
