Question

This table shows values that represent an exponential function.

(See picture)

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

A. 3
B. 1/3
C. 6
D. 1/6​

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

When you go from x=1 to x=3 you go up twice on the x-value. The y value also increases by 6 which means all you have to do is find the average.

6/2= 3

3 is the average increase between x=1 and x=3

Hope this helps!
