1 answer:
The average rate of change for the height of the plant measured in centimeters per day between day 0 and day 20 is 1.32 cm per day.
<h3>What is average height?</h3>The average height is the ratio of change in height of the plant and the time taken taken for that change.
Given is the height of a plant in centimeters is modeled as a function of time, in days.
For day 0, the height is 18cm and the height for day 20 is 42 cm, then the average height change is
height per day = 42 - 18/ 20 -0
height per day = 1.2 cm/day
Thus, the average height of plant is 1.2 cm/day.

Answer: 56.4102564% decrease
Explanation: First determine whether the number is increasing or decreasing. Since it changes from 39 to 17, it's going down so it's decreasing.
Now to find the percent decrease,
we divide the amount of change by the original number.
The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers
which in this case is 39 - 17 and the original number is 39.
39 - 17 is 22 so we're left with which gives us 56.4102564
Remember however that our problem is asking for a <em>percent</em>, not a decimal. So we need to write 56.4102564 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 56.4102564.
So when a number changes from 39 to 17, it has decreased by 56.4102564%.
