Answer:

74893 students per year

Step-by-step explanation:

The Average rate of change is calculated as

= Difference in number of students / Difference in years

= 3120 thousand - 5217 thousands/ 2008 - 1980

= (3120000 - 5217000)/(2008 - 1980)

= -2097000/28

= -74892.857143 per year

Therefore, the average rate of change

per year in the number of high school dropouts is approximately 74893 students per year

A scuba divers dove 950 feet below the surface in 19 minutes what integer represents the average rate of change for this dive?
NeTakaya
"950 feet in 19 minutes" can be expressed as the rate  (950/19) (ft/min), and is negative because the diver is descending (going downward).

Simplifying, -950/19 (ft/min) = -50 (ft/min)

Whats the Area? how do i find it? In these specific questions?
just olya [345]
The formula for finding the area of a square is:
{s}^{2}

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is:
\frac{1}{2} bh

So for the square the area would be:
{2x}^{2} \times  {2x}^{2}  =  {4x}^{2}

The area for the triangle would be:

\frac{1}{2}  {2c}^{3}  \times  4c =  {4c}^{2}
