(a)
To calculate: The values of average rate of change of S over successive intervals and complete the table contains math SAT score of a high school graduate which can be approximated by S(x)=573−133(0.987)x points on the SAT test, where x is the household income of the student in thousand dollars per year.
Interval | [0,40] | [40,80] | [80,120] | [120,160] | [160,200] |
Avg. Rate of Change of S |
(b)
The interpretation of result obtained in part (a) for the interval [40,80] indicating direction of change and units of measurement if the table contains math SAT score of a high school graduate which can be approximated by S(x)=573−133(0.987)x points on the SAT test, where x is the household income of the student in thousand dollars per year.
Interval | [0,40] | [40,80] | [80,120] | [120,160] | [160,200] |
Avg. Rate of Change of S | 1.35 | 0.80 | 0.48 | 0.28 | 0.17 |
