Question
The following table shows data on a hypothetical country's real GDP from 1980 through 1988:
Real GDP
Year (Billions of Dollars)

1981

1982
384

388
392

404
Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the real GDP in each of the years listed. (Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them
connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.) Next, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the point on the
real GDP curve that definitely represents a peak. Finally, place the grey point (star symbol) on the graph to indicate the point on the real GDP curve
that definitely represents a trough.

Once you've calculated the percentage change for each of the years, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot your results on the following
graph, rounded to the nearest percent. For each year, plot the percentage change from the year before. (Hint: For example, you should plot the
growth rate from 1980 to 1981 with a horizontal coordinate of 1981.)
