What is the missing information?
This problem is incomplete, but researching it on a search engine, it asks the rate at which snow was falling during the first period.
What is the average rate of change of a function?
The average rate of change of a function is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input. Hence, over an interval [a,b], the rate is given as follows:
[tex]r = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]
From the graph, the first period is until the 10th hour, hence:
The rate is:
r = (2 - 1)/(10 - 0) = 0.1.
Hence snow was falling at a rate of 0.1 inch an hour during the first period.
