The total yearly expenditures by public colleges and universities from 1990 to 2000 can be modeled by the function , where expenditures are measured in billions of dollars and time is measured in years since 1990.
(a) Estimate the total yearly expenditures by these colleges and universities in 1995.
(b) Compute the average rate of change in yearly expenditures between 1990 and 2000.
(c) Compute the average rate of change in yearly expenditures between 1995 and 1996.
(d) Estimate the rate at which yearly expenditures of public colleges and universities were increasing in 1995.

If Katie walked at miles per hour for minutes and then sprinted at miles an hour for minutes, how fast would Dave have to walk or run to go the same distance as Katie did at the same time while moving at a constant speed? Sketch a graph of Katieโs position over time and a graph of Daveโs position over time on the same set of axes.
