Question

What does the shape of the graph tell you about how the data changed over time? How do you think the average cow weight in 1786 will compare to the average weight in 1743?

Answer 1

Average rate of change tells us how much the function changed per a single time unit, over a specific interval. It has many real-world applications. In this video, we find the average rate of descent of a skydiver over a specific time interval.
