Math Problem Statement

On which of the following intervals is the average rate of change of r with respect to O greatest?

From A to C

From B to C

From B to D

From C to D

Solution

To determine which interval has the greatest average rate of change of rr with respect to OO, we need to use the formula for the average rate of change:

Average Rate of Change=r(end point)r(start point)end pointstart point\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{r(\text{end point}) - r(\text{start point})}{\text{end point} - \text{start point}}

Without specific numerical values or a graph showing the relationship between rr and OO, it's impossible to calculate the exact rates of change for each interval. However, to identify the greatest average rate of change, you would look for the interval with the largest difference in rr-values relative to the difference in the OO-values.

To proceed with this problem:

  1. If you have a graph or any specific data for rr and OO, you can apply this formula to each of the intervals.
  2. Compare the values you get from each interval and identify which one is the greatest.

Do you have the graph or specific values to analyze, or would you like more guidance on how to approach this kind of problem with example data?

Follow-up questions:

  1. Do you have specific data or a graph for rr and OO?
  2. How do you plot the data points of rr vs OO?
  3. Can you find the differences in rr-values and OO-values for each interval?
  4. What does the rate of change tell you about the behavior of the function over different intervals?
  5. How would the rate of change relate to the slope of the graph between two points?

Tip:

The average rate of change can be interpreted as the slope of the secant line between two points on a curve. Identifying the steepest slope between two points will give you the greatest average rate of change.
