Answer:
3rd option
Step-by-step explanation:
the average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is
[tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
here [ a, b ] = [ 1, 4 ] , then
f(b) = f(4) = 3³ + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29
f(a) = f(1) = [tex]3^{0}[/tex] + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3 , then
average rate of change = [tex]\frac{29-3}{4-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{26}{3}[/tex]
