love those geeks has been selling LED television since 2006 at the time the average price LED television sold for $2,499 and the price was decreasing at an instantaneous rates of $8.85 per month. In 2016 the average price LED television was $1,200 and the price was decreasing at an, instantaneous rate of $8.50 per month. what can you conclude when comparing these short and long-term rates of change?



Answer :

Comparing the short-term and long-term rates of change, we can see that while the instantaneous rate of decrease in price per month is similar ($8.85 in 2006 and $8.50 in 2016), the average price decreased more significantly over the long term. This suggests that although the monthly rate of change remained relatively stable, the cumulative effect over time led to a greater reduction in price.
