Answer 1

To estimate the average rate of change of a function \( f(x) \) from \( x = 3.1 \) to \( x = 5.89 \), you can use the formula:

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

where \( a = 3.1 \) and \( b = 5.89 \).

Since you didn't provide the function \( f(x) \), I can't compute the actual average rate of change. However, if you have values for \( f(3.1) \) and \( f(5.89) \), you can substitute those into the formula to find the average rate of change.

For example, if \( f(3.1) = y_1 \) and \( f(5.89) = y_2 \), the calculation would be:

\[ \text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{5.89 - 3.1} \]

Please provide the values of \( f(3.1) \) and \( f(5.89) \) for a specific answer, or let me know which function is being evaluated. Without this information, I cannot select an answer from the options provided.
