In 3(7-4)/2 you have you have to multiply 3 by 7 and by -4 and the answer would be 21-12/2=9/2 or 4.5. While in 3 * 7 -4/2 you will have to multiply 3 by 7 only and your answer will be 21 -4/2=17/2 or 8.5.

A function is given. Determine the average rate of change of the function between the given values of the variable: f(x)= 4x^2;

nevsk [136]

$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average\ rate\\
of\ change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf f(x)= 4x^2 \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=3\\
x_2=3+h
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{(3+h)~-~(3)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[4(3+h)^2]~~-~~[4(3)^2]}{\underline{3}+h-\underline{3}}\implies \cfrac{4(3^2+6h+h^2)~~-~~4(9)}{h}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4(9+6h+h^2)~~-~~36}{h}\implies \cfrac{\underline{36}+24h+4h^2~~\underline{-~~36}}{h}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{24h+4h^2}{h}\implies \cfrac{\underline{h}(24+4h)}{\underline{h}}\implies 24+4h$
