    Average Rate of Change Activity


    Here is a graph of opiod overdose deaths in Oregon over the last 20 years. Pay most attention to the bluish
    bars that show total number of deaths.

    Suppose you work for the Oregon Department of Health and you want to predict how many deaths there
    were in 2018, and how many there will be in 2019 and 2020 (the data hasn’t been compiled yet for 2018 and
    2019 isn’t done yet so this is as accurate as we can get right now) what would you do? Record all calculations
    neatly below and different strategies used. Give me final answers for the number of predicted deaths.
    Here is the concentration in CO2 in parts per million as measured in Hawaii (which is where all our CO2
    measurements come from because we always have to consistently measure in the same place.)

    1. Where is the CO2


    concentration
    increasing?

    2. Where is the CO2


    concentration
    decreasing?

    3. Overall, what seems to


    be happening?

    4. Predict what the concentration of CO2 will be in 2020. Record all questions, suppositions and work
    below. Give me a final number.

    HW: Read 1.3 and do the “try it nows”. This section is REALLY IMPORTANT so read carefully and do the
    “try it nows” thoughtfully. I’d rather you run out of time to finish the assignment than you rush it, so let me
    know how long it takes you.
