2km=2 kilometer
kilo=1000 so 2 km=2000m
25m
2500cm
cm=centimeter=1/100 of a meter
so
2500cm=25m
mm=milimeter=1/1000 meter
so
3000mm=3m
so the longets is obviously 2000m or 2km
Given:
The equations are


To find:
Which function is changing more quickly.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a line is

Where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
On comparing
with the slope intercept form, we get



On comparing
with the slope intercept form, we get


Since,
, it means the absolute rate of change of second function is greater than the first function.
Therefore, the second function is changing more quickly.
It is 40.682414698, or about 40.7 feet of string.
