Question

solve the problem. When exposed to ethylene gas, green bananas will pen at an accelerated rate. The number of days for ripening becomes shorter for longer exposure times. Assume that the table below gives average ripening times of bananas for several different ethylene exposure times. Exposure time Ripening Time minutes days 10 4.3 3.2 20 2.7 2.1 30 1.3 Plot the data and then find a line approximating the data. With the aid of this line, determine the rate of change of ripening time with respect to exposure time. Round your answer to two significant digits. Days 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Minutes Days 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Minutes

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER :-

Option C

-0.14 days per minute.

As we plot the graph between the Exposure time and ripening time we get the answer i.e, the rate of change of exposure time and ripening time is -0.14 days per minute.
