Question

zion is growing out his hair. the table shows the length of his hair, y, as a function of the number of weeks since he decided to grow it out, x. initial value: 9 what is the rate of change of the function? rate of change = (change in y - values)/(change in x - values) = (15 - 9)/(2 - 0) = blank number of weeks, x | length of hair (mm), y 0 | 9 2 | 15 4 | 21

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate numerator and denominator

Calculate \(15 - 9 = 6\) and \(2 - 0 = 2\).

Step2: Compute the rate of change

Divide the result of step1: \(\frac{6}{2}=3\).

Answer:

\(3\)
