Answer
Choice D
Company 2 is greater in avg rate of change by $750
=======================================
Explanation:
Average rate of change is the same as slope through two points. The two points are the endpoints of the interval.
The x values we'll use is x = 0 and x = 12 since it constitutes the first 12 years (12-0 = 12)
For company 1, if x = 0 and x = 12, then y = 12000 and y = 30000 respectively. The two points (0,12000) and (12,30000) are on the graph for company 1
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (30000-12000)/(12-0)
m = 18000/12
m = 1500
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 1 is 1500
For company 2, the points (0,15000) and (12,42000) are on the graph
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (42000-15000)/(12-0)
m = (27000)/(12)
m = 2250
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 2 is 2250
Now find the difference in the slopes
2250-1500 = 750
Company 2's rate of change is larger by $750
So that's why the answer is choice D. Over this timespan, company 2 is growing faster on average compared to company 1
Answer:
Make sure you plot your points in a table and set it up on a graph
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
719 km/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the unit rate you have to divide
3595/5 = 719 km/hour
Alright, 14 oz. cup of coffee contains 20% milk. If you add 7 ounces to that mixture, your answer would be:
14 oz = 0.2 milk
+7 oz. = 28
28/14 = 2
0.2*2 = 0.4, written as a percent will be 40%
40% milk.
