`Jenny is losing 3 pounds each week for 2 weeks` Keyword: losing is the rate of change positive or negative?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Negative constant rate of change

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's constant because each week is the same loss of 3 pounds

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which scenario has the positive constant rate of change?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Scenario 4 (positive constant rate)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

"sarah is growing 3 centimeters each month for 5 months"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Scenario 2 would be... positive varying rate of change.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

jim?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

one moment

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`Scenario 2 would be... positive varying rate of change. ` yes that is correct. We have positive rate of change because the amount is growing. The rate of change varies (ie not constant) because the amount it grows by changes each time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that leaves scenario 3 to be negative varying rate of change the car is losing value, so it has negative rate of change the amount it loses changes (varies) each time
