Given the function f(x) = 5x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3.

Part A: Find the average rate of change of each section. (4 points)
Part B: How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A? Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other. (6 points)

Oh I did this yesterday. It's maybe be confusing for how I did it.

First do the first section:
X=0 and X=1. Use the formula to solve this. $$Rate of change=f(a)-f(b)\over a-b  $$

Also, pick which numbers in the problem you want to have as a, f(a) and b, f(b)
