The population of a city grew from 23,000 in 2010 to 25,000 in 2015.
a. What was the average rate of change during this time interval?
Type the answer in the box below.


Answer :

The average rate of change during this time interval is 400 population per year

The average rate of change during this time interval is expressed as:

  • Rate of change = change in population/change in time

Change in population = 25000 - 23000

  • Change in population = 2000

Change in time = 2015 - 2010

  • Change in time = 5 years

Substitute into the formula;

Rate of change = 2000/5

Rate of change = 400

Hence the average rate of change during this time interval is 400 population per year
