To estimate the average rate of change of a function between two points, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}
\]
where \( a = 3.1 \) and \( b = 5.89 \). However, since you have not provided a specific function \( f(x) \), I cannot directly compute the rate of change without that information.
If you can provide the function values at these points or more information about the function, I would be able to help you calculate the average rate of change. Otherwise, based on the options provided (A through D), it seems you're looking for a theoretical answer or approximation.
If you can clarify the context or specify the function involved, that would greatly assist in providing you with a more accurate answer.
