Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change of number of tree y on x branches of a tree is expressed as shown;
m = Δy/Δx where;
m is the rate of change
Δy is the change in number of leaves between 3 and 4
Δx is change in number of branches between 3 and 4
m = Δy/Δx = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
From table between 3 and 4, y₂ = 100, y₁ = 75, x₂ = 4, x₁ = 3
m = 100-75/4-3
m = 25/1
m = 25
Hence the rate of change between 3 and 4 branches is 25
