  • Average Rate of Change: [tex]\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

g(x) = 4x

Interval [1, 5]

Step 2: Find Change

  1. Substitute in function and points [Average Rate of Change]:                     [tex]\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{4(5) - 4(1)}{5 - 1}[/tex]
  2. [Fraction] Multiply:                                                                                          [tex]\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{20 - 4}{5 - 1}[/tex]
  3. [Fraction] Subtract:                                                                                         [tex]\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{16}{4}[/tex]
  4. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                              [tex]\displaystyle 4[/tex]
