I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.
Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4
Simplify into standard form:
Use the quadratic formula to solve:
For functions in the form of
. So in this case:
a = 1
b = -4
c = 2
Plug them in:
Solve for 'x':
So the answer would be A.

Answer:
the average rate of change is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the average rate of change of f(x)=x^2 on the interval [1,3].
The average rate of change of f(x) on the interval [a,b] is f(b)−f(a)/b−a.
We have that a=1, b=3, f(x)=x^2.
Thus, f(b)−f(a)/b−a=((3))^2−(((1))^2)/3−(1) = 4.
