Overview: |
In 1979 China introduced its one-child policy. Communist leaders hoped to raise the average annual income to $1000 a person. They felt that the rising population was holding back China's economy. Today, China's rate of population growth has slowed and its economy has soared. Did the one-child policy cause the change?
This informational material will apply a precalculus concept--the rate of change of a function--to a current issue in sociology--patterns of population change. There are links to additional information included. |

Social Studies SS2010 (2010) Grade: 9-12 Sociology | 11 ) Contrast population patterns using the birth rate, death rate, migration rate, and dependency rate.

| Mathematics MA2019 (2019) Grade: 9-12 Precalculus | 25. Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph. Extend from polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and radical to rational and all trigonometric functions.
a. Find the difference quotient f(x+Î"x)-f(x)/Î"x of a function and use it to evaluate the average rate of change at a point.
b. Explore how the average rate of change of a function over an interval (presented symbolically or as a table) can be used to approximate the instantaneous rate of change at a point as the interval decreases. | English Language Arts ELA2021 (2021) Grade: 11 | 8.
