To find the average rate of change in the value of the car from years 2 to 4, you can use the following formula for average rate of change:
\[ \text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{\text{Value at Year 4} - \text{Value at Year 2}}{\text{Year 4} - \text{Year 2}} \]
However, you didn't provide the specific values of the car at years 2 and 4. If we assume you have those values, you can plug them into the formula.
Let me walk you through the steps assuming you have filled in the values:
-
Determine the value of the car at Year 2 and Year 4 (let's call them \( V_2 \) and \( V_4 \) respectively).
-
Calculate the average rate of change:
- \[ \text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{V_4 - V_2}{4 - 2} = \frac{V_4 - V_2}{2} \]
-
Convert the result to thousands per year.
Since specific values were not provided, I can't calculate an exact answer, but once you have \( V_2 \) and \( V_4 \), follow the steps above to find the average rate of change.
If you find that the average rate of change corresponds to one of your listed options, choose that as your final answer. If you provide the values, I would be happy to help you calculate it directly!
