Question

What is the average rate of change for this exponential function for the interval from x = 7 to x = 8?

Answer 1

4374

Explanation:

Since, we are given table for x and y values

and table for average rate of changes

we can see the pattern of average rate of change

average rate of change for 5 to 6 is three times average rate of change for 4 to 5

but we have to find

average rate of change for 7 to 8

so, using same pattern

average rate of change for 6 to 7 is three times average rate of change for 5 to 6

average rate of change for 7 to 8 is 3*3( average rate of change for 5 to 6)

so, we can plug value

average rate of change for 7 to 8 is 3*3*486

average rate of change for 7 to 8 is 4374
