A fox sees a rabbit 35 feet away and starts chasing it. As soon as the fox starts moving the rabbit sees it and starts running away at a speed of 40 feet per second. What should the fox's speed be to catch up to the rabbit?
Fox's speed should be (equal to, greater than, less than, not less than, not more than) __ feet per second.

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

your answer would be 12
