Okay... I completely forgot how to do this and the notes I got aren't really helping.
For f(x) = 3x², find the slope of the secant line through the points (1, f(1)) and (1 + h, f(1+h)), h ≠ 0.
Also, is there a difference between the average rate of change and the slope of the secant line? I assume they're the same thing.
