Problem 58 of 7
Compare functions by average rate of change over interval [1,2]: f(x)=1/(x-1) and g(x)=x.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.

Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Compute average rate for each function over the same interval.
2. Check domain validity over the interval.
3. Compare slopes numerically and interpret.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Comparing rates over different intervals unless normalized and requested.
