The average rate of change of function is 72.
SOLUTION:
Given that, we have to find the average rate of change of the function f(x)=2(3)x from x = 2 to x = 4
Use the slope formula to find the average rate of change:
To simplify this, we need to find values of f ( 4 ) and f ( 2 ) :
All of them except 8/100 because it results 0.08 or 8%.
The rest:
2/5 = 0.4 = 40%
8/20 = 0.4 = 40%
4/10 = 0.4 = 40%
16/40 = 0.4 = 40%
