Q
a) Find the average rate of change of each population with respect to time t as t changes from
to 4. This is often called the average growth rate.
The average growth rate of population A is million people per year.
(Simplify your answer.)
The average growth rate of population B is million people per year.
(Simplify your answer.)
b) If the calculation in part (a) were the only one made, would we detect the fact that the
populations were growing differently?
O A. No, the unequal rates suggest similar growth patterns.
O B. Yes, the unequal rates suggest different growth patterns.
O C. No, the equal rates suggest similar growth patterns.
O D. Yes, the equal rates suggest different growth patterns.
