A function is given. Determine the average rate of change of the function between the given values of the variable.
Solution
average rate of change = [ f(b) - f(a) ] / ( b -a )
= 6 / (2a + h ) - 6 / 2a ] / 2a+ h - 2a
= [ 12a - 12a - 6h ] / h
= -6

Find average rate of change of a function between values
1. A function is given. Determine the average rate of change of the function between the given
values of the variable.
Solution
average rate of change = [ f(b) - f(a) ] / ( b -a )
= 6 / (2a + h ) - 6 / 2a ] / 2a+ h - 2a
= [ 12a - 12a - 6h ] / h
= -6
