Arrange these functions from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval
F(x)=x^2+3x [-2,3]
F(x)=3x-8 [4,5]
F(x)=x^2-2x [-3,4]
F(x)=x^2-5 [-1,1]

First find the average rates of change for each function.

For a given interval $[a,b]$, the average rate of change of a continuous function $f(x)$ is given by
$$\text{average rate of change}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$$
(i.e. the slope of the secant line connecting the points $(a,f(a))$ and $(b,f(b))$).
