Since it decreases by 36 each year, the change would be 36+36+36+36=36*4=144
For a, we can plug in values for t, so 2000-(200*1)=1800 for the first year,
2000-(200*2)=1600 - do you see the pattern here? It subtracts by 200 every year, so 1600-200=1400 for the third year and 1400-200=1200 for the fourth year.
True its just flipped around all the corners are the same
On 14 I said slope, it is the same thing as rate of change
The math I used is probably not the quickest way, but for me, the easiest.
25*5=125 25+20=45 45*7=315 125+315=440 25*4=100 440+100=540 5+7+4=16
B is your answer.
450. To find the rate you would do 1800 divided by 4 which is the hours without wind. 1800/4 =450
