Answer:
(a) 0.107 million per year
(b) 0.114 million per year
Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The average rate of change between 2000 and 2014 is determined by dividing the difference in the populations in the two years by the number of years. In the year 2000,
and in 2014,
. Mathematically,


(b) The instantaneous rate of change is determined by finding the differential derivative at that year.
The result of differentiating functions of the firm
(where
is a constant) is
. Let's use in this in finding the derivative of
.

In the year 2014,
.

By looking at the y values of a function or on a graph
Answer:
a / (a - 4) = a(a + 4) / ((a - 4)(a + 4)) = (a^2 + 4a) / (a^2 - 16) = -(a^2 + 4a) / (16 - a^2)
To answer this, you would use the original ratio of 2 to 5 and create an equivalent ratio that includes the 12 tulips. You would get a ratio of 12 to 30. This is not enough daisies.
I then tried 2/5 times 7/7, but it still did not reach the 36 daisies that are there. When you use a factor of 8, you will get 16 tulips to 40 daisies. This works!
You would need to add 4 tulips and 4 daisies to what he already has.
