8) The change in height during age 5 to 10 is 0.354 m this is found by subtracting the maximum height during that time which is 1.396m by the minimum height during that time which is 1.042m. 9) The units cancel out because it is yr*m/yr so years crosses out and it just leaves meters. This means that the area is how much he grew during this time, this value is nearly the same as number 8. 10) He did not grow most rapidly as a teenager as it was assumed. When using the tangent tool for the graph height vs age, it was shown that the most rapid growth was when he was round 1 year old. The tangent tool showed us the slope which represented the growth rate which is the derivative of Heigh vs Age. The slope was greater in his earlier years instead of his teen years.
