The forward differences for this data is 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (since 10 - 9 = 1, 11 - 10 = 1, etc). Since we only need one iteration of differences, a linear polynomial will fit the data exactly.
Answer:84.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Both can be right because if the function goes up, turns and goes down, between x = -2 and x = 2, it can happen that f(-2) = f(2) and then the average rate of change is [f(2) - f(-2)] / [2-(-2)] which is 0/4 = 0.
Answer:
Choice C
Step-by-step explanation:
f: initial value of 200 decreasing at a rate of 4%
g: initial value of 40 increasing at a rate of 8%
f is decreasing so it must go down starting at 200
That eliminates a and d
g is increasing and starts at 40 That eliminates a
We must look at b and c
g is increasing faster than f is decreasing
