Question

(04.03 HC)
Given the function f(x) = 2(3)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

in general rate of change =
[ f(x2) - f(x1) ] / (x2 - x1)
from point x1 to x2
try to apply this logic to section A and section B
