Using your function f(x) from question 2. Demonstrate and explain how to find the average rate of change between year 3 and 5, and between year 5 and 7. Explain what the average rate of change represents to the frog population.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's a function: y = 200(1.03^4. 200 is the initial number of frogs 1.03 means that the number of frogs is increasing by 3% per year and the 4 = # of years, 4 years Therefore y gives you the total number of frogs after 4 years, if you were to start with 200 frogs and they increase by 3% per year.

To be any year.

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thxbro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem. The equation of avg rate of change is f(2)-f(1)/ t2-t1. For 2 means final and 1 means initial.
