Does Function A or Function B have a greater rate of change over the Interval x=2 to x-47 Justify and explain your choice. (Do you like that they can't see the point (4,?) in the graph? If not you can change the interval to x-1 to x=3)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change
Rate of change
Since 6 > 5, the function B has greater rate of change in the given interval
Answer:
Function B
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of function f(x) over the interval a ≤ x ≤ b is given by:
[tex]\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
Given interval: 2 ≤ x ≤ 4
Therefore: a = 2 and b = 4
Function A
From inspection of the given table:
Substituting these values into the formula:
[tex]\implies \textsf{Average rate of change}=\dfrac{f(4)-f(2)}{4-2}=\dfrac{6-(-4)}{2}=5[/tex]
Function B
Given function: [tex]y=2^x+1[/tex]
[tex]\implies f(2)=2^2+1=5[/tex]
[tex]\implies f(4)=2^4+1=17[/tex]
Substituting these values into the formula:
[tex]\implies \textsf{Average rate of change}=\dfrac{f(4)-f(2)}{4-2}=\dfrac{17-5}{2}=6[/tex]
As 6 > 5, function B has a greater rate of change over the interval 2 ≤ x ≤ 4
