Players on a basketball team compared the total number of points they scored in a game. The results are shown on the circle graph.
If there were 88 points scored overall, how many more points were scored by Dakota than by Rudy?
A)
16
B)
24
C)
28
D)
32

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
