The table gives the profit, P of a fast food chain, where P is in millions of dollars and t is in years since January 1, 2004. a) Find the average rate of change in profit over the one-year intervals from 2004 to 2005, from 2005 to 2006 and from 2006 to 2007. b) Assuming the pattern repeats, find the average rate of change over the one-year intervals from 2007 to 2008 and from 2008 to 2009. c) Study the table of values. What can be inferred about the function P(t) from t = 0 to t=5? a) What is the average rate of change from 2004 to 2005? What is the average rate of change from 2005 to 2006? What is the average rate of change from 2006 to 2007?
