ok, so you need to do your work for part a.
f(x) = 5^x
f(x) = 5^0 = 0
f(x) = 5^1 = 5
then you use the formula
f(b) - f(a)/b - a
5 - 0 / 1 - 0 = 5/1 = 5
Then you do the same with 3 and 2
f(x) = 5^2 = 25
f(x) = 5^3 = 125
125 - 25 / 3 - 2 = 100/1 = 100
ok so the average rate of change for each is,
Section A: 5/1 = 5
Section B: 100/1 = 100
This is part A
Ok, so now that we have part A we can see that in Part B it's:
Section B is 20 times greater then A is. This is because Section B is the increasing part of the equation. There for Section B is greater or higher then Section A.
Hope this helps!Ok, so now that we have part A we can see that in Part B it's:
