You measure the lengths of three worms for a biology experiment. the shortest worm is 1.28 inches and the largest worm is 1.285 inches. which of the following could not be the length of the third worm?

a. 1.2809 in
b. 1.281 in
c. 1.284 in
s. 1.286 in

  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).
