Rank the following functions by their average rate of change over the interval $$[1,2]$$, from smallest to largest. The functions are: $$f(x)= 3$$, $$g(x)= x$$, $$h(x)= x^2$$, and $$k(x)= 2^x$$.

The average rate of change of a quadratic function $$p(x)$$ over consecutive intervals $$[t, t+1]$$ is modeled by the linear function $$L(t) = 5t - 2$$. At what constant rate are these average rates of change increasing?
