This example demonstrates how to use GeoGebra to graph a quadratic function and calculate the average rate of change between two points. Core math concepts include quadratic functions, average rate of change, and analytical geometry. Construction highlights involve commands like Point, Segment, Textfield, and objects such as A, B, C, f, D, E, a, b, G, H, xD, xE, c, etc., for representing the function graph and computation. Suitable for high school students learning about function rate of change.
