Answer:

[tex]Rate = 15[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]R(x) = 56 - 0.020x^2[/tex]

Required

Find the average change from​ 1,000 car seats to​ 1,050 car seats --- Missing information

This is calculated using:

[tex]Rate = \frac{R(b) - R(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]a = 1000[/tex]

[tex]b = 1050[/tex]

Now, we have:

[tex]Rate = \frac{R(1050) - R(1000)}{1050-1000}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{R(1050) - R(1000)}{50}[/tex]

Calculating R(1050)

[tex]R(1050) = 56 *1050- 0.020*1050^2[/tex]

[tex]R(1050) = 58800-22050[/tex]

[tex]R(1050) = 36750[/tex]

Calculating R(1000)

[tex]R(1000) = 56 *1000- 0.020*1000^2[/tex]

[tex]R(1000) = 56000- 20000[/tex]

[tex]R(1000) = 36000[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{R(1050) - R(1000)}{50}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{750} {50}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 15[/tex]

The average rate of change is 12
