(a) Explanation Formula used: Average rate of change: The average rate of change of f ( x ) with respect to x for a function f as x changes from a to b is, f ( b ) − f ( a ) b − a . Calculation: Let P ( t ) represents the world population in million in the y -axis and the x -axis represents the year t . The population in the year 1990 is about 5.3 million. Suppose the replacement-level fertility is reached in the year 2010, the population in the year 2050 is about approximately 8.6. Substitute a = 1990 , b = 2050 , f ( a ) = 5.3 and f ( b ) = 8.6 in the average rate of change formula to compute the average rate of change in population from the year 1990 to 2050. f ( b ) − f ( a ) b − a = 8.6 − 5.3 2050 − 1990 = 3.3 60 = 0.055 That is, the average rate of change is 0.055 billion/year. Thus, on average, the world population increase about 55 million/year when the replacement-level fertility is reached in the year 2010. Suppose the replacement-level fertility is reached in the year 2030, the population in the year 2030 is about approximately 9.2. Substitute a = 1990 , b = 2050 , f ( a ) = 5 (b) To determine To estimate: The average rate of change in world population from 2090 to 2130 for each projection and interpret the answer.

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
