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.
