Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of function g on the interval [a, b] is ...
m = (g(b) -g(a))/(b -a)
For g(x) = 4, the average rate of change on the interval [1, 5] is ...
m = (g(5) -g(1))/(5 -1) = (4 -4)/(5 -1) = 0/4 = 0
The average rate of change is zero.
__
The function describes a horizontal line, which has a slope of 0 everywhere. Its average rate of change will be 0 on any interval.
