determine the average rate of change in median age per year from 1950 to 1990.
a.
0.0825 years of age per year
b.
0.825 years of age per year
c.
1.21 years of age per year
d.
-1.21 years of age per year

a.  0.0825 years of age per year

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table , the median age per year in 1950 = 22.8

The median age per year in 1990 = 26.1

We know that the average rate of change of a function f(x) from x=a to x=b is given by :-

Now, the the average rate of change in median age per year from 1950 to 1990 is given by :_

Hence, the average rate of change in median age per year from 1950 to 1990 is 0.0825 years of age per year.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)
