Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average rates of change for each function on the interval \([3, 5]\), we use the formula:

\[

\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

\]

Where \(a = 3\) and \(b = 5\).

1. For \(f(x)\):

\[

\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{f(5) - f(3)}{5 - 3} = \frac{8 - 10}{2} = -1

\]

2. For \(g(x)\):

\[

\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{g(5) - g(3)}{5 - 3} = \frac{8 - 10}{2} = -1

\]

3. For \(h(x)\):

\[

\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{h(5) - h(3)}{5 - 3} = \frac{8 - 10}{2} = -1

\]

So, the average rates of change for all three functions are the same. Therefore, the order of the functions according to their average rates of change on the interval \([3, 5]\) is the same for all of them.
