Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function = p(x) = (6x-4)/x
First we will calculate p(1) and p(3)
p(1) = (6(1) - 4)/1 = 6-4 = 2
p(3) = (6(3) - 4)/3 = (18-4)/3 = 14/3
Rate of change on interval [1,3] = [p(3) - p(1)]/(3-1)
=> (14/3 -2)/(2)
=> (14-6)/(3*2)
=> 8/6
=> 4/3
So average rate of change is 4/3
