Question

Alan's bamboo plant adds some flair to his apartment. In four weeks, Alan has trimmed a total of inches off the top of the plant. What is the rate of change in the plant's height in terms of inches per week? Ignore the growth rate of the plant.

Answer 1

The rate of change in the plant's height in terms of inches per week will be 1 2/3 inches.

How to calculate the rate?

Rate of change is used to mathematically describe the percentage change in value over a defined period of time, and it represents the momentum of a variable.

The calculation for the rate of change is simple in that it takes the current value of a stock or index and divides it by the value from an earlier period.

The change in y (y being the height of the plant) over 4 weeks was 6 2/3 inches and there are four weeks. Therefore, the average height will be:

= 6 2/3 ÷ 4

= 1 2/3 inches

The average rate of change of the plant growth per week was 1 2/3 inches.
