Over the last 50 years, the average temperature has increased 3 degrees worldwide. (This is made up!) What is the rate of change in worldwide temperatures per year?
Added by Alexandra A.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the rate of change in worldwide temperatures per year by dividing the total change in temperature (3 degrees) by the total number of years (50 years). Show more…

GLOBAL WARMING The average global temperature in degrees Celsius from 1965 to 2001 can be modeled by the function $T(x)=0.0183 x+13.86,0 \leq x \leq 36,$ where $x$ is years after 1965 (A) At what rate was the temperature changing during that time period? Was it going up or down? (B) What was the average global temperature in $1965 ?$ In $2001 ?$ Do your results from parts A and B agree? (Source: www.giss.nasa.gov/data)

Weather: Temperature. The average temperature for Boston in January 2005 was $43^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$. In 2007 the average January temperature was $44.5^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$. What is the rate of change of the temperature per year? If this trend continues, what is the expected average temperature in January $2016 ?$
