The average rate of change of function f on interval [a,b] is
f(b)f(a)ba
It is the ratio of the changes, it may also be written fx and it may be thought of as the slope of the line through the endpoints of the graph of f on the interval.
Algebraically it is (one version of) the difference quotient. (The quotient of the differences in f values and x values.)
For this problem you find
g(8)f(1)81
