The per capita consumption of commercially produced fresh vegetables in a certain country from 1980 through 2000 can be modeled as
v(t) = 0.092+² +0.710r + 149.551 pounds
where t is the number of years since 1980.
(a) What was the average per capita consumption of commercially produced fresh vegetables in the country between 1980 and 2000? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
pounds
(b) What was the average rate of change in per capita consumption between 1980 and 2000? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
pounds per year
(c) In which year was the per capita consumption closest to the average per capita consumption between 1980 and 2000? (Round your answer up to the nearest integer.)
