Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is
[tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
Here [ a, b ] = [ 8, 9 ] , then
Continuing the table from x = 6 , multiplying values of y by 3
x y
6 729
7 2187
8 6561
9 19683
f(b) = f(9) = 19683
f(a) = f(8) = 6561
average rate of change = [tex]\frac{19683-6561}{9-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13122}{1}[/tex] = 13122 → B
