Answer:(updated)
2.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
$2.90-$2.83=$.07
.07/2.9=0.024137931(round to nearest ten<u>th</u>)=2.4%
or you can do 0.024137931*100 and get the same answer

Any times you see the phrase: "Rate of Change", or even sometimes just the word "Rate" think slope.
The word slope is just a fancy word that means the rate of change.
Rate of Change is just a fancy phrase meaning how much does something change over some amount of time.
So in this case our rate of change will have the units of inches per year.
Let's get to the problem at hand!
We'll need to find slope / the rate of change (the two are interchangeable with each other).
Let's go over the formula for slope:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
First we will need to label each of the "coordinated points (the two numbers that go together in a pair)" with either (x1,y1) or (x2,y2).
A Giant Red Oak's diameter in 1965 was 248 inches. Keep in mind time is ALWAYS going to be X in rate of change problems (and most all problems for that matter).
(1965,248)
(X1,Y2)
(2005,251)
(X2,Y2)
Plug in the values into the equation!
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (251 - 248) / (2005 - 1965)
m = (3) / (40)
Type that into a calculator to get a decimal value over 1.
m = 0.075 inches per 1 year.
Or...
m = 0.075in / 1 year
Even though we don't know the number yet, we need to give it some kind of label
so that we can work with it. We can call it anything. I'd like to call it ' G '.
The number we're looking for is ' G '.
Half of it is 1/2 G
The sum of that and 6 is 1/2 G + 6
Ten times that is 10 (1/2 G + 6)
The question says that's 8.
So 10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8
Divide each side by 10 : 1/2 G + 6 = 0.8
Subtract 6 from each side: 1/2 G = - 5.2
Multiply each side by 2 : G = - 10.4
That seems like a weird answer. We should check it.
The number: -10.4
Half the number: - 5.2
The sum of half the number and 6: -5.2 + 6 = +0.8
Ten times that sum: 8
Yep ! By golly, sho nuff, dV-dT and E to the X !
Everything checks out, and the mystery number is - 10.4
