The table shows values of of a function f(x). what is the average rate of change f(x) over the interval from x = 5 to x = 9? show your work

the average rate of change  is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is the slope. Therefore, you must use the following formula for calculate the slope:

As you can see in the table, when x=5, y=-2 and when x=9, y=14. Then the points you must substitute into the formula are:

(5,-2) and (9,14)

Then, you obtain:

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
