Answer:
Between x = 48 and x = 45.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate of change of a function in the given interval is represented by,
Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}[/tex]
From the table attached,
Average rate of change of the function between x = 3 and x = 9
= [tex]\frac{16-7}{9-3}[/tex]
= 3
Average rate of change in the interval x = 9 and x = 22
= [tex]\frac{32-16}{22-9}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{16}{13}[/tex]
= 1.23
Average rate of change in the interval x = 9 and x = 22,
= [tex]\frac{45-32}{45-22}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{13}{23}[/tex]
= 0.57
Average rate of change in the interval x = 45 and x = 48,
= [tex]\frac{63-45}{48-45}[/tex]
= 6
Therefore, average rate of change is maximum between x = 45 and 48.
Option given in bottom right will be the answer.
