a. The average rate of change of the function f(x)= [tex]120(0.1)^x[/tex] from x = 0 to x = 2 is

b. The average rate of change of the function f(x)= [tex]4(2)^x[/tex] from x = 0 to x = 2 is

c. The average rate of change of the function f(x)= [tex]480(0.3)^x[/tex] from x = 1 to x = 5 is

The average rate of change of the function is given by-

[tex]\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0}[/tex]

Now, apply the same to all the given functions to find the average rate of change of the functions as follows.

a. The given function is f(x) = [tex]120(0.1)^x[/tex]

We have to find the average rate of change of this function from x = 0 to x = 2

The average rate of change = [tex]\frac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0}[/tex]

                                               = (120 [tex](0.1)^2[/tex] - 120) / 2

                                               =  60 (0.01 - 1)

                                               =   60 x - 0.99 =  - 59.4

Thus, the average rate of change =  - 59.4

b. The given function is f(x) = [tex]4(2)^x[/tex]

We have to find the average rate of change of this function from x = 0 to x = 2

The average rate of change = [tex]\frac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0}[/tex]

                                               = ([tex]4(2)^2[/tex] - 4) / 2

                                               =   2(4 - 1) = 2 x 3 = 6

Thus, the average rate of change =  6

c. The given function is f(x) = [tex]480(0.3)^x[/tex]

We have to find the average rate of change of this function from x = 1 to x = 5

The average rate of change = [tex]\frac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1}[/tex]

                                               = ([tex]480(0.3)^5 - 480(0.3)^1[/tex] ) / 4

                                               =  480 (0.00243 - 0.3) /4

                                               =   120 x -0.29757

Thus, the average rate of change =  -35.7084
