Average rate of change refers to the slope of a function/equation.
To solve this, plug in for both x values and calculate the average, or mean.
x = 1
f(1) = 5(2)^1
= 5(2)
= 10
x = 5
f(5) = 5(2)^5
= 5(32)
= 160
Now, you calculate the average:
10 + 160 = 170
Divide by 2 and you get 85.

Answer:
37.5
Step-by-step explanation:
5(2)^x = 5(2)^1 = 10
5(2)^x = 5(2)^5 = 160
160 - 10 = 150
5 - 1 = 4
150/4 = 37.5
