What is the average value of f(x) on [0,4] if the area between the graph of f (x) and the x-axis is equal to

12?

I used the average value formula and got 12.

But the answer key says 3.

My work:

M= 1/4 [12x] interval: [0,4]

48/4=12

They did not say that f(x) = 12x

They said that the area was 12. The integral was already done for you.
