a) For this experiment, I have decided
to use one of the offered examples. In this case, I will be working with a
table that analyzes the change in number of walleyes every year. Walleyes are a
species of fish found in Canada and North America.
b) The problem analyzes the increase or
decrease of walleyes for every year that passes. It provides a table of 25
years with values on fish population. One could wonder how what is the
difference between certain years. Also, an emerging question could be: How many
walleyes were there in year 23? One would then look at the table and see that
the amount is 4,989.
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)
h) By looking at, for example, the slope
between points 2 and 8, and comparing it with points 3 and 8, one can say that
the value is the IRC because of how close the numbers are. In this case, one
can say that 138.8 and 157.5 are fairly close to each other.





Very nice job Rafael. I really enjoyed your post because it was detailed and you used many variables
ReplyDeleteGreat Job, I is really nice work and I enjoyed going over your work. it is very orginized and good. Thanks
ReplyDeleterafael,
ReplyDeletepopulation growth is always an interesting topic for rates of change. the only thing that is curious is that you used the value t = 3 in your tangent line approximation but you used t = 2 in your secant line approximations, so i think your results are off quite a bit. your tangent value should be closest to your smallest tangent value. other than that and the missing units, you did a nice job! your graphs look good and so does your table.
