Problem 5

A balloon is being filled with air, and its volume VV after tt minutes is given by V=4t2V=4t^2, where VV is measured in liters. Draw the graph of the function and the secant line passing through AA and BB. The endpoints of the interval 1≤t≤31\leq{t}\leq{3} correspond to AA and BB. Then, calculate the slope of the secant line and interpret it in terms of an average rate of change over the interval.
