Given the function h(x) = 3(2)x, Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2 and Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4.

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)

(10 points)

Part A) The average rate of change  of section A is 6 and the average rate of change of section B is 24

Part B) The average rate of change of Section B is 4 times greater than the average rate of change of Section A. see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Find the average rate of change of each section

we know that

To find the average rate of change, we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value

the average rate of change is equal to

In this problem we have

Section A

Substitute

Section B

Substitute

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

Divide the average rate of change section B by the average rate of change of Section B

so

The average rate of change of Section B is 4 times greater than the average rate of change of Section A.

One rate of change is greater than the other, because it is an exponential function and the slope grows bigger.

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
