It <u>decreased by 30 cents</u> per week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The average <em>rate of change</em> is calculated as:
the <u>ratio of the sum of the change</u> in the three weeks <u>divided by</u> <u>the number of weeks. (</u>The <em>number of weeks</em> being <u>3</u>)
<em>Rate of change</em> =
.
(-60 + -10 + -20 = -90). So, to <em>simplify</em> it:
= <u><em>-30</em></u>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Incase you are confused:
Since the average <u>rate of change</u> is <em>negative</em>, this means that the <u>stock price</u> has <em>decreased</em>.
The value of
is 
Explanation:
The function
is given by

The function
is given by

To determine the value of
, let us first substitute the value of
.
Thus, we get,

Now, substituting for
in the function
, we get,

Simplifying, the expression, we get,

Multiplying the term within the bracket, we have,

Thus, the value of
is 
Hence, the value of
represents the total amount of money that Barrett earns for working x hours.
