To find the average rate of change of a quadratic function \( f(x) \) over the interval \( [0, 4] \), you would typically use the formula:

\[ \text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} \]

In this case, \( a = 0 \) and \( b = 4 \). You would need the values of the function at these endpoints, \( f(0) \) and \( f(4) \).

If you provide the specific quadratic function, I can help you calculate the average rate of change. If you're looking for a general approach or a numerical estimate based on the graph, please share any additional details or values available about the function.
