James works for a delivery company. He gets paid a flat rate of $5 each day he works, plus an additional amount of money for eve

ry delivery he makes. The total amount of money he earns per day is a function of the number of deliveries he makes, as represented on the graph below. Part A: Enter the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 0 and 2 deliveries. $ ___ fill in the box with the answer Part B: Which of the following statements correctly compares the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 2 and 4 deliveries and 6 and 8 deliveries? The rate of change is the same between the two time intervals. The rate of change is larger between 2 and 4 deliveries than 6 to 8 deliveries. The rate of change is smaller between 2 and 4 deliveries than 6 to 8 deliveries. The rate of change is a positive value between 2 and 4 deliveries and a negative value between 6 and 8 deliveries.

Answer:

(a) The rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 0 and 2 deliveries is $2.

(b) The rate of change is the same between the two time intervals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change for a variables based on another variable is known as the slope.

The formula to compute the slope is:

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

(a)

Compute the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 0 and 2 deliveries as follows:

For, <em>x</em>₁ = 0 and <em>x</em>₂ = 2 deliveries the money earned are <em>y</em>₁ = $5 and <em>y</em>₂ = $9.

The rate of change for the money earned is:

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

        =\frac{9-5}{2-0}\\\\=\frac{4}{2}\\\\=2

Thus, the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 0 and 2 deliveries is $2.

(b)

Compute the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 2 and 4 deliveries as follows:

For, <em>x</em>₁ = 2 and <em>x</em>₂ = 4 deliveries the money earned are <em>y</em>₁ = $9 and <em>y</em>₂ = $13.

The rate of change for the money earned is:

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

        =\frac{13-9}{4-2}\\\\=\frac{4}{2}\\\\=2

The rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 2 and 4 deliveries is $2.

Compute the rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 6 and 8 deliveries as follows:

For, <em>x</em>₁ = 6 and <em>x</em>₂ = 8 deliveries the money earned are <em>y</em>₁ = $17 and <em>y</em>₂ = $21.

The rate of change for the money earned is:

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

        =\frac{17-21}{8-6}\\\\=\frac{4}{2}\\\\=2

The rate of change for the money earned, measured as dollars per delivery, between 6 and 8 deliveries is $2.

Thus, the rate of change is the same between the two time intervals.

Answer:

  • multiplying a multi-digit number by itself several times (finding the power of a number)
  • finding a square root
  • statistical calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know what your introduction tells you, but the above-listed operations are ones I choose to use a calculator for. I also use a calculator for ordinary arithmetic, such as division by numbers with 2 digits or more. (It is simply faster and requires no scratch paper.)

If statistical calculations are not done with a calculator, they at least require the availability of suitable tables.

___

All of these operations can be done by hand without a calculator, and were in times passed. Lifetimes of effort were involved in generating some of the original math tables for statistics, trig, logarithms, and other functions readily evaluated using a modern calculator.
