What is the rate of change of the function described in
the table?

b)5

Step-by-step explanation:

This table does not describe a linear relationship.  This is because the table does not have a constant rate of change; between the first two points, the function changes by

(1/2 - 1/10)/(0--1) = (5/10 - 1/10)/(1) = 5/10 - 1/10 = 4/10 = 2/5

Between the second two points, the function changes by

(5/2-1/2)/(1-0) = (4/2)/1 = 4/2 = 2

Comparing the first two y-coordinates, we have 1/10 and 1/2 = 5/10.  This is the result of multiplication by 5.

Comparing the second two y-coordinates, we have 1/2 and 5/2.  This is the result of multiplication by 5.

Comparing the rest of the y-coordinates, we can see that each time, the y-coordinate is multiplied by 5.  This means the rate of change is 5.

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
