Luis uses cubes to represent each term of a pattern based on a recursive function. the recursive function defined is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 4, where n is an integer and n ≥ 2. the number of cubes used in each of the first two figures is shown below. how many cubes does luis use in the third, fourth, and fifth figures of the pattern? fill in the blanks.

  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).
