Given the function f(x) = 4(2)x, section a is from x = 1 to x = 2 and section b is from x = 3 to x = 4. part a: find the average rate of change of each section. (4 points) part b: how many times greater is the average rate of change of section b than section a? explain why one rate of change is greater than the other. (6 points) (10 points)

Hey there,

In Section A:Length of the section = (1 - 0) = 1f(1) = 5f(0) = 0change in the value of the function = (5 - 0) = 5Rate of change =            (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1  =  5
In Section B:Length of the section = (3 - 2) = 1 f(3) = 15f(2) = 10change in the value of the function = (15 - 10) = 5Rate of change =           (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1  =  5
Part A:The average rate of change of each section is 5.
Part B:The average rate of change of Section B is equal to the average rate of change of Section A.

Hope i helped<3

The correct answer is: b
