Answer 1

The average rate of change of a function \( f(x) \) on the interval \([a, b]\) is calculated using the formula:

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

In your case, \( a = 4 \) and \( b = 8 \). However, to calculate this, we need the specific values of the function \( f \) at \( x = 4 \) and \( x = 8 \). Since the values of \( f(4) \) and \( f(8) \) are not provided, we cannot compute the average rate of change.

Could you provide the specific function or its values at those points to calculate the average rate of change?
