- Find the average rates of change of f(x)=x2+2x (a) from x1=3 to x2=2 and (b) from x1=2 to x2=0.arrow_forwardFind the average rate of change for each function over the given interval. y=x between x=1 and x=4arrow_forwardRespiratory Rate Researchers have found that the 95 th percentile the value at which 95% of the data are at or below for respiratory rates in breath per minute during the first 3 years of infancy are given by y=101.82411-0.0125995x+0.00013401x2 for awake infants and y=101.72858-0.0139928x+0.00017646x2 for sleeping infants, where x is the age in months. Source: Pediatrics. a. What is the domain for each function? b. For each respiratory rate, is the rate decreasing or increasing over the first 3 years of life? Hint: Is the graph of the quadratic in the exponent opening upward or downward? Where is the vertex? c. Verify your answer to part b using a graphing calculator. d. For a 1- year-old infant in the 95 th percentile, how much higher is the walking respiratory rate then the sleeping respiratory rate? e. f.arrow_forward
- Can the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardTable 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_forwardTable 2 shows a recent graduate’s credit card balance each month after graduation. a. Use exponential regression to fit a model to these data. b. If spending continues at this rate, what will the graduate’s credit card debt be one year after graduating?arrow_forward
