Rate of Change for a Quadratic Function
I.
For a quadratic function $$f(x) = a*x^2 + b*x + c$$, the average rate of change over an interval $$[x_1, x_2]$$ is given by $$a*(x_1+x_2)+b$$.
II.
The average rate of change of a quadratic function over any interval is constant if $$a = 0$$.
III.
For a quadratic function, the instantaneous rate of change at the midpoint of an interval equals its average rate of change over that interval when the endpoints are symmetric about the vertex.
