Task 3: Eight avocados cost $4.

How much do 16 avocados cost? Explain your reasoning.

If eight avocados is equal to four dollars, then sixteen (eight times two) is equal to eight dollars. Since you can't add another eight avocados to get twenty, you would add half of eight, which would also be half of the cost of eight. Adding four to sixteen gets you to twenty and adding two dollars to eight gets you to ten dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

  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).
