Answer 1

@Isaiah.Feynman

Answer 2

@helpme1.2

Answer 3

The slope of a curve? or slope of a tangent line touching the slope?

Answer 4

I think you mean the derivative

Answer 5

well the question is describe if the average rate of change is increasing or decreasing, from left to right. Justify your observations with calculations

Answer 6

What grade are you in

Answer 7

11th

Answer 8

do you know how to do differentiation

Answer 9

I'm sure I could with a little refresher

Answer 10

That just means you need to take the derivative of the function and use that to find the critical points. Using those critical points and the first derivative test, you can describe the different portions of the curve.

Answer 11

oh ok @Helloimjohn1234 could you help me with doing that?

Answer 12

Differentiate it twice and see if it's positive or negative. @Helloimjohn1234 will help you
