Answer:

Here we have the function:

S(t) = 500 - 400*t^(-1)

Then the rate of change at the value t, will be:

S'(t) = dS(t)/dt

This differentiation will be:

S'(t) = -400/t^2

Then:

a) the rate of change at t = 1 is:

S'(1) =  -400/1^2 = -400

The rate of change after one year is -400

b) t = 10

S'(10) = -400/10^2 = -400/100 = -4

The rate of change after 10 years is -4, it reduced as the years passed, as expected.

On the day that a certain celebrity proposes marriage, 252525 people know about it. Each day afterward, the number of people who
Serhud [2]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs are attached.

First of all, the day proposal goes out, 25 people know, so the initial condition is y = 25 at x = 0.

Hence, graph would start at y = 25.

Looking at the graphs, we can eliminate B and D immediately because they start at 50.

Now, it says every day, this number (y) triples, so 1 day after, it would be:

25 * 3 = 75

So, the graph would show x = 1 and y = 75

We can eliminate "C" as it doesn't show 75 at x = 1.

And we look at A and it is correct.

So,

A is the graph of the situation represented.
