Rate of change of function  on the interval  is; 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:  on the interval

Rate of change of function: Let f be the function defined on the interval , then the rate of change of function A(x) is given by:

A(x) =

at x = 2;

h(2) =

and at x = 4

h(4) =

then, by the definition of rate of change of function:

A(x) =

Substitute the value of h(2) = 4 and h(4) = 16 we have;

Therefore, the rate of change of function is 6.
