fantasia eats 2,000 calories per day, and has had 8,000 calories already this week. think of the equation for the given situation. what is the rate of change in total calories eaten?
The equation for the situation is:
Total calories eaten = 2,000 * number of days + 8,000
To find the rate of change in total calories eaten, we calculate the derivative of the equation with respect to the number of days:
d/d(number of days) (2,000 * number of days + 8,000) = 2,000
Therefore, the rate of change in total calories eaten is 2,000 calories per day.
