What is the average rate of change of the function f(x)=480(0.3)× from x=1 to x=5

Answered by admin @



Answer:

The average rate of change(A(x)) of a function f(x) from a to b as;

A(x) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Given the function: f(x) = 480(0.3)^x

For x =1 ,

f(x) = 480(0.3)^1 = 480\cdot 0.3 = 144

and for x=5

f(x) =480(0.3)^5 = 480 \cdot 0.00243= 1.1664

then;

the average rate of change of a function A(x)= \frac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1} or

A(x) =\frac{1.1664-144}{4}= \frac{-142.8336}{4}= -35.7084

Therefore, the average rate of change of the given function from x=1 to x=5 is; -35.7084
