What makes an equation difficult to factor

(01.02 lc) angle abc has point e on ray ba and point d on ray bc. points e and d are equidistant from point b. to bisect angle abc, which of the following needs to be identified for the construction? the distance between points e and d the point in the angle that is equidistant from points e and d the endpoint of rays ba and bc the point outside of the angle that is equidistant from points e and d

I’m stuck on this equation, anyone got the answer?

Calculate the average rate of change over the interval [1, 3] for the following function. f(x)=4(5)^x a. -260 b. 260 c. 240 d. -240
