What is the average rate of change for this function for the interval from x=3 to x=5

A. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find rate of change of function from x=3 to x=5

The average rate of change for the interval a≤x≤b is given by:

Rate of change=  (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)

In our question,

a=3

and

b=5

We can see from the table that at x = 3, the value of function is 18

So,

f(a)=18

and

At x=5, the value of function is 50

f(b)=50

Rate of change=(50-18)/(5-3)

=32/2

=16

So the rate of change of function between x=3 and x=5 is 16 ..  

Option A is the correct answer..
