Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of function f on interval [a, b] is ...
m = (f(b) -f(a))/(b -a)
Here, that is ...
m = (f(6) -f(2))/(6 -2)
So, we need to evaluate the function at x=6 and x=2. Writing it in "Horner form" makes this easier.
f(x) = (x +3)x -2
f(6) = (6 +3)6 -2 = 54 -2 = 52
f(2) = (2 +3)2 -2 = 10 -2 = 8
Then the slope is ...
m = (52 -8)/4 = 13 -2 = 11
The average rate of change of f(x) from 2 to 6 is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:
I like to solve a set of problems like this once, then use a calculator or spreadsheet to crunch the numbers.
We can start with the general form of the equation for a circle:
x^2 +y^2 +ax +by +c = 0
Completing the square gives ...
(x^2 +ax +(a/2)^2) +(y^2 +by +(b/2)^2) = (a/2)^2 +(b/2)^2 -c
(x +(a/2))^2 +(y +(b/2))^2 = (a/2)^2 +(b/2)^2 -c
Comparing this to the standard form formula ...
(x -h)^2 + (y -k)^2 = r^2
we see the relations are ...
where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
Then your circle centers and radii are ...
