document.write( "The rate of change of the function  f(x) = |x-3| over the interval  [0,2]  is THIS ratio\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    The rate of change = \"%28f%282%29+-+f%280%29%29%2F%282-0%29\" = \"%28f%282%29+-+f%280%29%29%2F2\".    (1)\r\n" );

document.write( "So, I calculate  f(2) = |2-3| = |-1| = 1   and   f(0) = |0 -3| = |-3| = 3\r\n" );
