Please help me solve the following:

Find the average rate of change for the function over the given interval.

y= (2x)^(1/2) between x=2 and x=8

Don't I use the difference quotient f(x+h)-f(x)/h? I plugged the problem into the formula.

y= (2(x+h))(1/2) - (2x)(1/2) / h

How do I work it from here?

Thank you!
 
Use the formula:

\(\displaystyle \L\\\frac{f(x_{1})-f(x_{0})}{x_{1}-x_{0}}\)
