Answer:
12
Explanation:
f(x)=x^+4x+2 First, let's evaluate when x=3, x=4 and x=5.
f(3) = 3²+4(3)+2 = 9 + 12 + 2 = 23
f(4) = 4²+4(4)+2 = 16 + 16 + 2 = 34
f(5) = 5²+4(5)+2 = 25 + 20 + 2 = 47
Now, let's find the rate of change.
34 - 23 = 11
47 - 34 = 13
Finally, the average rate of change.
(11 + 13) / 2 = 12
