what is the average rate of change for this function for the interval from x=1 to x=3

a. 24
b. 12
c.9
d.6

1 answer

To find the average rate of change for the function over the interval from x=1 to x=3, we need to calculate the change in the function value over the change in x in that interval.

Let's say the function is f(x).

Average Rate of Change = (f(3) - f(1)) / (3-1)

Now, we need to know the function f(x) in order to find the average rate of change. Without knowing the actual function, we cannot determine the correct answer among the options provided.
