Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image involves determining which statements about a population change model are always true. Let's break down each statement:
Given formula:
Statements:
-
(i) : This expression is based on the derivative definition, but needs to be evaluated carefully.
-
(ii) is less than the average rate of change of between 0 and 1: We would need to compute the derivative and compare it with the average rate of change between and .
-
(iii) The average rate of change between 0 and 1 is 5.4: To verify this, we calculate the average rate of change using:
Steps to verify:
-
Derivative Calculation : Using the rule for derivatives of exponential functions: We can evaluate at specific points if needed.
-
Average Rate of Change between and :
Conclusion:
Now, we can analyze each statement using these results. Would you like to continue with specific calculations and conclusions, or clarify any part of the solution so far?
Here are five related questions:
- How do you find the derivative of an exponential function like ?
- What is the meaning of an average rate of change, and how does it relate to derivatives?
- How do we compute the derivative using the definition with limits, as shown in statement (i)?
- What is the significance of comparing a derivative at a point to an average rate of change over an interval?
- How can you generalize the result for a population model of the form ?
Tip: The derivative tells you the instantaneous rate of change, while the average rate of change gives a comparison over an interval.
