Mario and luigi are comparing their daily caloric intake. each day luigi chooses 100-calorie snacks such as carrots while mario chooses to snack on chips and candy that have 200 calories each.
Luigi: (1,100), (2,200), (3,300)
Mario: (1,200), (2, 400), (3,600)
What is Mario's rate of change? and what is Luigi's rate of change?
To calculate the rate of change, we can find the difference in daily caloric intake between consecutive days for each person.
For Luigi:
Rate of change = (200 - 100) + (300 - 200) = 100 + 100 = 200 calories
For Mario:
Rate of change = (400 - 200) + (600 - 400) = 200 + 200 = 400 calories
Therefore, Luigi's rate of change is 200 calories and Mario's rate of change is 400 calories.
