Answer:

2008 and 2010 is 52 units per year.

Explanation:

To find the average rate of change of sales between 2008 and 2010, we need to calculate the change in sales over that period, and divide by the time interval.

The sales in 2008 is f(2008) = 520, and the sales in 2010 is f(2010) = 624. The time interval is 2 years.

Therefore, the change in sales over that period is:

f(2010) - f(2008) = 624 - 520 = 104

The average rate of change of sales between 2008 and 2010 is:

(104) / (2) = 52

So the average rate of change of sales between 2008 and 2010 is 52 units per year.
