Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Evaluate the polynomial at both endpoints.
2. Subtract output values in the same order as input values.
3. Divide by the interval length.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Using derivative or midpoint value when average rate is requested.
