`qNote that there are four questions in this assignment.

`q001. If your stocks are worth $5000 in mid-March, $5300 in mid-July and $5500 in mid-December, during which period, March-July or July-December was your money growing faster?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

well basically all i could figure to do is to add mid march and mid july and then add mid july and mid december and so the answer i would have to say would be july-december, thats when it would have most profit

The first period (4 months) was shorter than the second (5 months), and the value changed by more during the shorter first period (increase of $300) than during the longer second perios (increase of $200). A greater increase in a shorter period implies a greater rate of change. So the rate was greater during the first period.

RESPONSE -->

I thought thats what it was, i second guessed myself

`q002. What were the precise average rates of change during these two periods?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

75 a month which i would guess is going to be the average rate and the next period is 50

From mid-March thru mid-July is 4 months. A change of $300 in four months gives an average rate of change of $300 / (4 months) = $75/month.

From mid-July through mid-December is 5 months, during which the value changes by $200, giving an average rate of $200 / (5 months) = $40 / month.

Thus the rate was greater during the first period than during the second.

RESPONSE -->

so i thought it was the only way to do it but i just figured since the last one was wrong i got it wrong.

`q003. If the water in a uniform cylinder is leaking from a hole in the bottom, and if the water depths at clock times t = 10, 40 and 90 seconds are respectively 80 cm, 40 cm and 20 cm, is the depth of the water changing more quickly or less quickly, on the average, between t = 10 sec and t = 40 sec, or between t = 40 sec and t = 90 sec?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

i am going to say that first i have to 80 cm in 10 sec which 80-40 cm in 40 is 40 cm and the other would only be 20 so the answer is 10 sec and 40 sec

Between clock times t = 10 sec and t = 40 sec the depth changes by -40 cm, from 80 cm to 40 cm, in 30 seconds. The average rate is therefore -40 cm / (30 sec) = -1.33 cm/s.

Between t = 40 sec and t = 90 sec the change is -20 cm and the time interval is 50 sec so the average rate of change is -20 cm/ 50 sec = -.4 cm/s, approx.

The depth is changing more quickly during the first time interval.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

i didnt have the exact way to do it down but i understood it now that i needed to divide the deth by time and get the answer and so i still got the right answer

`q004. How are the two preceding questions actually different versions of the same question? How it is the mathematical reasoning the same in both cases?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

well you had to do them both different, one was simple math and the other took a little more involvement, and they are the same because you were trying to find the average rate in both of them
