The position of a moving car at time $t$ is given by $f(t) = at^{2} + bt + c, t > 0,$ where $a, b,$ and $c$ are real numbers greater than $1.$ Then the average speed of the car over the time interval $[t_{1}, t_{2}]$ is attained at the point

  • A
    $a(t_{2} - t_{1}) + b$
  • B
    $\frac{t_{2} - t_{1}}{2}$
  • C
    $2a(t_{1} + t_{2}) + b$
  • D
    $\frac{t_{1} + t_{2}}{2}$
