Let's solve the problems from the image.

### Part (a) - \( g(x) = 4x - 10 \)

The average rate of change of a function \( f(x) \) over an interval \([x_1, x_2]\) is given by the formula:

\[
\text{Average rate of change} = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

#### (i) Interval: \( [3, 5] \)
For \( g(x) = 4x - 10 \):

1. Calculate \( g(5) \):
   \[
   g(5) = 4(5) - 10 = 20 - 10 = 10
   \]

2. Calculate \( g(3) \):
   \[
   g(3) = 4(3) - 10 = 12 - 10 = 2
   \]

3. Average rate of change:
   \[
   \frac{g(5) - g(3)}{5 - 3} = \frac{10 - 2}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4
   \]

#### (ii) Interval: \( [-7, -4] \)

1. Calculate \( g(-4) \):
   \[
   g(-4) = 4(-4) - 10 = -16 - 10 = -26
   \]

2. Calculate \( g(-7) \):
   \[
   g(-7) = 4(-7) - 10 = -28 - 10 = -38
   \]

3. Average rate of change:
   \[
   \frac{g(-4) - g(-7)}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-26 - (-38)}{-4 + 7} = \frac{-26 + 38}{3} = \frac{12}{3} = 4
   \]

### Part (b) - \( f(x) = 2x^3 - x^2 + 1 \)

#### (i) Interval: \( [3, 5] \)

1. Calculate \( f(5) \):
   \[
   f(5) = 2(5)^3 - (5)^2 + 1 = 2(125) - 25 + 1 = 250 - 25 + 1 = 226
   \]

2. Calculate \( f(3) \):
   \[
   f(3) = 2(3)^3 - (3)^2 + 1 = 2(27) - 9 + 1 = 54 - 9 + 1 = 46
   \]

3. Average rate of change:
   \[
   \frac{f(5) - f(3)}{5 - 3} = \frac{226 - 46}{2} = \frac{180}{2} = 90
   \]

#### (ii) Interval: \( [-7, -4] \)

1. Calculate \( f(-4) \):
   \[
   f(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - (-4)^2 + 1 = 2(-64) - 16 + 1 = -128 - 16 + 1 = -143
   \]

2. Calculate \( f(-7) \):
   \[
   f(-7) = 2(-7)^3 - (-7)^2 + 1 = 2(-343) - 49 + 1 = -686 - 49 + 1 = -734
   \]

3. Average rate of change:
   \[
   \frac{f(-4) - f(-7)}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-143 - (-734)}{-4 + 7} = \frac{-143 + 734}{3} = \frac{591}{3} = 197
   \]

### Final Answers:

- **Part (a)**:
  - (i) 4
  - (ii) 4

- **Part (b)**:
  - (i) 90
