Let fx8x2 Find a value A such that the average rateof change

Let f(x)=8x^2.
Find a value A such that the average rateof change of f(x) from 1 to A equals 88.

Solution

Average = [f(A)-f(1)]/[A-1]
---
88 = [8A^2 - 8]/[A-1]
-----------------------
8A^2 - 8 = 88A - 88
---
A^2 -1 = 11A - 11
---
A^2 - 11A + 10 = 0
-------
(A-10)(A-1) = 0
A = 10 or A = 1
=======================
Reasonable solution:
A = 10
