Answer 1

To find the average rate of change of a function on a given interval \([a, b]\), we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}
\]

Given the interval \(x: [1, 3]\), we need to find the values of the function \(f(x)\) at \(x = 1\) and \(x = 3\).

However, since I cannot see the graph of the function you're referring to, you will need to provide the values of \(f(1)\) and \(f(3)\) to complete the calculation.

1. Calculate \(f(3) - f(1)\).
2. Divide the result by \(3 - 1\) (which is 2).

If you can provide the values of \(f(1)\) and \(f(3)\), I can help you compute the average rate of change!
