Mandy wants to organize her closet and donate some clothes. She plans to remove one quarter of the clothes in her closet each day. She starts with 100 items of clothing.
What is the average rate of change of the number of items in her closet between 4-7 days?
removes an average of 6 items between days 4 and 7.
The average change in pH can be calculated using the formula, f(x) = log x, where x represents the concentration of hydrogen ions and f(x) represents the pH level of a solution with a certain concentration of hydrogen ions. Find the average change in pH per increase in hydrogen ion concentration over an interval of 4 to 13 moles per liter.
The average change is .06 pH between 4 and 13 moles per liter of hydrogen ions

Imagine you were modeling the relationship between the distance from a basketball hoop when attempting a shot and the number of shots. Your first shot is 20 feet away and you move a third of the distance to the hoop after each shot.
Find the average distance the ball moves closer to the rim per shot taken over your second and fifth shot.
you move an average of 2.09 feet closer between your second and fifth shot.
Using the function, M = log x, where M is the magnitude of the earthquake and x is the amplitude of the seismic wave, determine how many times greater is the amplitude of an earthquake with a Richter scale rating of 7 as an aftershock with a Richter scale rating of 2?
The difference between the amplitude of Richter scale of 7 and 2 is 105

Madison wants to organize her pantry and buy some groceries. She plans to buy one-fifth of additional groceries each day. She starts with 20 items of groceries.
What is the average rate of change of the number of items in her pantry between 2-6 days?
The average number of groceries bought is 8 items between 2 and 6.
Using the equation for loudness L, in decibels, L=10logR, where R is the relative intensity of the sound. If the loudness of the Saturn V launch was 203 decibels, what was the sound's relative intensity?
The sound's relative intensity is 1020.3.

The half-life of caffeine is approximately 5 hours; this means that approximately ½ of the caffeine in the bloodstream is eliminated every 5 hours. Suppose you drink a can of Instant Energy, a 16-ounce energy drink that contains 80 mg of caffeine. Suppose the caffeine in your bloodstream peaks at 80 mg.
How much caffeine will remain in your bloodstream after 5 hours?
There will be 40 mg of caffeine in your bloodstream after 5 hours.
