Question

Please see the two attached image for the two green poll questions that need to be answered. 

Climate change is resulting in earlier and earlier springs, this results in the evolution of flowers to bloom (their phe-
nology) earlier every year. You measure the average blooming time every spring for 10 years (see table below).
A. Using the definition of the derivative, approximate the rate (aka the derivative) of the
phenological change at year 5.
