given the function g(x) = 4(3)x, section a is from x = 1 to x = 2 and section b is from x = 3 to x = 4.
part a: find the average rate of change of each section. (4 points) part b: how many times greater is the average rate of change of section b than section a? explain why one rate of change is greater than the other. (6 points)

I assume you mean 4(3^x) as in this is an exponential function.

The average rate of change is simply the change in y divided by the change in x so:

(4(3^2-3^1))/(2-1)

4(9-3)

4(6)

24



(4(3^4-3^3))/(4-3)

4(81-27)

4(54)

216

So the average rate from 3 to 4 is 216 and from 1 to 2 is only 24.

So the average rate of B to A is 216/24=9, is 9 times greater than A.

The average rate of change is not constant as this is an exponential function.

It would be the second one because it passes the vertical line test
