Lucas
Lucas (1986)

IMDB rating: 6.50

Plot: Lucas is a promising kid, bright, inquisitive, knowledgeable, industrious, but for a boy aged 14 those qualities don’t count for much socially, his daily life in high school is a brave but hopeless struggle against cruel ridicule (nicknamed ‘leukoplakia’) and abuse on account of his frail figure, ‘miniature’ size and athletic ineptitude, while any demonstration of precocious erudition is frowned upon by his ignorant, dumber peers and seniors, fortunately with one remarkable exception: the studly football team captain, generally known as Cappie, gallantly protects the ’shrimp’ and as soon as he gets to know Lucas appreciates his mind and courage, eager to learn from him. The arrival of an attractive new girl in his school and neighborhood proves a mixed blessing: Maggie becomes his best friend and companion, admiring his many talents, but inevitably she soon falls for Cappie the other way, so now his ‘big brother’ and protector seems little Lucas’s rival, however hard the hunk tries to stay friends…

Find the rate of change of this percentage in the year 2004 and interpret your answer?
(x) = 1/2x^2 + 4x + 1, where x is the number of years after the year 2000

what is happening to the number each year?

thank you


I guess you missed an "f" when typing "(x)"?
f(x) = ?x? + 4x + 1

The rate of change can be found via the derivative f ‘(x):
f ‘(x) = x + 4

For 2004, x = 4:
f ‘(4) = 8
so that is the rate of change in 2004.

This means that the percentage is increasing at the start of that year with a speed of 8%/year.

The percentage (number) is increasing every year, and the speed of increase also increases.
