15. in math class, blake earned a 94 in the first quarter, an 86 in the second quarter, an 88 in the third quarter, and a 96 in the fourth quarter. find the rate of change from the second to the fourth quarter.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

Second quarter score: ( 86 ), Fourth quarter score: ( 96 ), Number of quarters between second and fourth: ( 4 - 2 = 2 )

Step2: Apply rate of change formula

Rate of change ( = \frac{\text{Change in score}}{\text{Change in time (quarters)}} = \frac{96 - 86}{2} )

Step3: Calculate the result

( \frac{10}{2} = 5 )

Answer:

The rate of change from the second to the fourth quarter is ( 5 ) (points per quarter).
