Write the simplified answer.

Simplified form of: is

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the simplified answer of:

We are multiplying both terms.

First -6x is multiplied with and then -1 is multiplied with

Looking at the table, we now just have to add the like terms to find the result.

So, simplified form of: is

  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).
