Respuesta :

Answer:

A. 96

Step-by-step explanation:

By using slope formula we got that  average rate of change of the function over the interval [1, 3] is 48 .

What is the average rate of change?

the rate at which one variable of a function changes in relationship to another variable  is called average rate of change.

Here we can see in graph that

when x =1 y=12

and when x= 3 ,y=108

Now we know that rate of change is same as slope of straight line passing through that points

So average rate of change can be calculated as

[tex]=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{108-12}{3-1}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{96}{2}[/tex]

=48

By using slope formula we got that  average rate of change of the function over the interval [1, 3] is 48 .
