Finding the Average Rate of Change of a Force

Avg difficulty 2.5

The electrostatic force F, F , measured in newtons, between two charged particles can be related to the distance between the particles d, d , in centimeters, by the formula F( d )= 2 d 2 . F \left(d\right) = \frac{2}{d^{2}} . Find the average rate of change of force if the distance between the particles is increased from 2 cm to 6 cm.
