Advanced Math practice question

The function f is defined by f(x) = 3x² + 1. By how much does f(x) increase as x goes from 1 to 2?

Answer: 9

f(1) = 4 and f(2) = 13, so the increase is 9.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 3
3 is the coefficient, not the increase.
If you answered 4
4 is f(1) alone.
If you answered 13
13 is f(2) alone.
