Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Vehicle sales in 2009 = 10,002 thousand
Vehicle sales in 2013 = 17,884 thousand
Required
Determine the average rate of change;
From the given parameters, it can be seen that the number of vehicles is a function of year
Let x represent the years and y represent the number of vehicles;
Such that;


The rate of change is calculate as follows;





Hence, the average rate of change is 1970.5 thousand
Answer: 504
Step-by-step explanation:
When we select r things from n things in a order , we use permutations.
Formula for permutation: 
Given : The number of family members who are potential kidney donors. = 9
Number of people needed to be selected for best match, a second-best match, and a third-best match ( in an order)=3
Then, the number of possible orders are = 

Hence, the number of possible orders 504.
