Average rate of change for 3/12/18 to 3/22/18 CANSWER> 2. Average rate of change for 3/02/18 to 3/22/18 ANSWER

Explanation / Answer

Here, average price for 3/22/18 = 170.4462703

average price of 3/12/18 = 181.1525

average price of 3/2/18 = 174.4400025

average price of 2/22/18 = 172.4900018

Then, 1. Average rate of change for 3/12/18 to 3/22/18 = (181.1525-170.4462703)/170.4462703 = 0.06281293

2. Average rate of change for 3/2/18 to 3/22/18 = (174.4400025-170.4462703)/170.4462703 = 0.023431033

3. Average rate of change for 2/22/18 to 3/22/18 = (172.4900018-170.4462703)/170.4462703 = 0.011990473
