- When Date Are Unevenly speed. If data are evenly spaced, we need only calculate differences to see whether the data are linear. But if data are not evenly spaced, then we must calculate the average rate of change over each interval to see whether the data are linear. If the average rate of change is constant, it is the slope of the linear function. This fact is used in Exercises 23 and 24. In the following table, show that the average rate of change from 2 to 5 is not the same as the average rate of change from 5 to 6. This shows that the data are not linear, even though the differences in y are constant. x 1 2 5 6 y 3 6 9 12arrow_forwardbThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardWhen Date Are Unevenly speed.

But if data not evenly spaced, then we must calculate the average rate of change over each interval to see whether the data are linear. If the average rate of changes is constant, it is the slope of the linear function. This fact is used in Exercises 23 and 24. In the following table, show that the average rate of change is the same over each interval. This shows the data are linear, even though the differences in y are not constant. Then find a linear model for the data. x 1 2 5 6 y 7 10 19 22arrow_forward
- aThe average rate of change of a function f between x=a and x=b is the slope of the ___________ line between (a,f(a)) and (b,f(b)).arrow_forwardRage of decrease The price of computers has been dropping steadily for the past ten years. If a desktop PC cost 6700 ten years ago, and the same computing power cost 2200 three years ago, find the average rate of decrease per year. Assume a straight-line model.arrow_forwardHigh School Graduates The following table shows the number, in millions, graduating from high school in the United States in the given year. Year Number graduating in millions 1985 2.83 1987 2.65 1989 2.47 1991 2.29 a. By calculating difference, show that these data can be modeled using a linear function. b. What is the slope for the linear function modeling high school graduations? Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope. c. Find a formula for a linear function that models these data. d. Express, using functional notation, the number graduating from high school in 1994, and then use your formula from part c to calculate that value.arrow_forward
