Please help!!! I need an answer!!!!

Given the function h(x) = 3(2)x, Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2 and Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4.
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)

Section A:

3*2^1 = 6

3*2^2=12

12-6 = 6

rate of change = 6

SECTION B:

3*2^3 = 24

3*2^4 = 48

48-24 = 24

rate of change = 24


Part B 24/6 = 4 ( Section B is 4 times greater) because the equation is raised to the x power the lager the x value the greater the rate of change would be
