Question
Given the function g(x) = 6(4)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3. 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)

Answer:
Section A = 18
Section B = 288
Section B is 16 times greater than A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function :
g(x) = 6(4)^x
x = 0 to x = 1
At x = 0
g(0) = 6(4)^0 = 6(1) = 6
At x = 1
g(1) = 6(4)*1 = 24
Average rate of change for Section A = g(1) – g(0) = 24 – 6 = 18
Section B ;
x = 2 ; x = 3
g(x) = 6(4)^x
x = 2 to x = 3
At x = 2
g(0) = 6(4)^2 = 6 * 16 = 96
At x = 3
g(1) = 6(4)^3 = 6(4*4*4) = 384
Average rate of change for Section B = g(3) – g(2) = 384 – 96 = 288
Number of times B is greater than A
Section B / section A = 288 / 18 = 16 times
