What is the average rate of change of the function on the interval from
x = 0 to x = 5?

f(x)=12(3)xf(x)=12(3)x

Respuesta :

f(x)=12(3)ˣ

just find the slope

so for x=0
f(0)=12(3)⁰
f(0)=12(1)
f(0)=12
(0,12)

for x=5
f(5)=12(3)⁵
f(5)=12(243)
f(5)=2916
(5,2916)

the slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given

(0,12) and (5,2916)
slope=(2916-12)/(5-0)=2904/5

the rate of change is 2904/5

The average rate of change of the function on the interval from [tex]x = 0[/tex] to [tex]x=5[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{\frac{{2904}}{5}}.[/tex]

Further explanation:

The formula for slope of line with points [tex]\left( {{x_1},{y_1}} \right)[/tex] and [tex]\left( {{x_2},{y_2}} \right)[/tex] can be expressed as,

[tex]\boxed{m = \frac{{{y_2} - {y_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}}}[/tex]

The formula for average rate of change can be expressed as follows,

[tex]\boxed{A\left( x \right) = \frac{{f\left( b \right) - f\left( a \right)}}{{b - a}}}[/tex]

Given:

The function is [tex]f\left( x \right) = 12{\left( {3} \right)^x}.[/tex]

Explanation:

The given function is [tex]f\left( x \right) = 12{\left( {3} \right)^x}.[/tex]

Substitute [tex]0[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] in function [tex]f\left( x \right) = 12{\left( {3} \right)^x}.[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}f\left(0\right) &= 12{\left( 3 \right)^0}\\&= 12 \times 1\\&= 12\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute 5 for [tex]x[/tex] in function [tex]f\left( x \right) = 12{\left( {3} \right)^x}.[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}f\left( 5 \right) &= 12{\left( 3 \right)^5}\\&= 12 \times \left( {243} \right)\\&= 2916\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The average rate of change can be obtained as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}A\left( x \right)&= \frac{{f\left( 5 \right) - f\left( 0 \right)}}{{5 - 0}}\\&= \frac{{2916 - 12}}{5}\\&=\frac{{2904}}{5}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The average rate of change of the function on the interval from [tex]x = 0[/tex] to [tex]x=5[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{\frac{{2904}}{5}}.[/tex]
