Explanation:
Given: interval [1,5]
Based on the given functions, we start by computing the function values at each endpoint of the interval.
For:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x^2 \\ f(1)=4(1)^2 \\ =4 \\ f(5)=4(5)^2 \\ =100 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we compute the average rate of change.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Average rate of change = }\frac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1} \\ =\frac{100-4}{5-1} \\ \text{Calculate} \\ =24 \end{gathered}[/tex]For:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x^3 \\ f(1)=4(1)^3 \\ =4 \\ f(5)=4(5)^3 \\ =500 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Average rate of change = }\frac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1} \\ =\frac{500-4}{5-1} \\ =124 \end{gathered}[/tex]For:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4^x \\ f(1)=4^1 \\ =4 \\ f(5)=4^5 \\ =1024 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Average rate of change = }\frac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1} \\ =\frac{1024-4}{5-1} \\ =255 \end{gathered}[/tex]For:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4\sqrt[]{x} \\ f(1)=4\sqrt[]{1} \\ =4 \\ f(5)\text{ = 4}\sqrt[]{5} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Average rate of change = }\frac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1} \\ =\frac{(4\sqrt[]{5\text{ }})\text{ -4}}{5-1}\text{ } \\ =1.24 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the function that has the greatest average rate is
[tex]y=4^x[/tex]
