Assume the world catch of fish in 1950 was 12 million tons and in 1955 it was 96 million tons.

find the average rate of change from 1950 to 1995.

The rate of change is 16.8 million tons per year

Solution:

Given that, the world catch of fish in 1950 was 12 million tons and in 1955 it was 96 million tons

The average rate of change is given by formula:

Value in 1950 = 12 million tons

Value in 1955 = 96 million tons

Change in value = value in 1955 - value in 1950

Change in value = 96 million - 12 million = 84 million tons

Number of years = 1950 to 1955 = 5 years

Substitute the given values in formula,

Thus rate of change is 16.8 million tons per year

step-by-step explanation:

given the function as;

write the equation replacing f(x) with y

form   and fill a table containing values of y with corresponding values of x

you can take a range for   values of x as -3≤x≤3

solving for x=-3

for x=-2

repeat the same procedure to get the values of y for the remaining ,x=-1 to x=3

plot the values of y against values   of x and obtain the following graph
