is that really 11 times 1.35x?

i don't know

anonymous · Answer

if the function is
$$f(x)=11(1.35)x$$
then you're not correct...

to find the average rate of change you would need to use
$$\frac{f(5) - f(1)}{5-1}$$

i'm just not sure why they would give you a function like that...it's not simplified
