Question

Given the function g(x) = 6(4)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. (4 points)

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. (6 points)

Answer 1

First, to find the y-values, substitute 0,1,2,3 into the equation \(6(4)^x\) (If you cannot use a graphing calculator)
