-2x - 4(4x - 8)

- 18x + 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2x - 4(4x - 8) ← distribute parenthesis

= - 2x - 16x + 32 ← collect like terms

= - 18x + 32

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

4 + 5 7/9= 9 7/9
