(b)
Answer to Problem 46RE
The meaning of derivatives is discussed in calculation.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The total fertility rate at time
Figure (1)
Calculation:
The derivatives measure the rate of change of the total fertility rate relative to time.
Therefore, the meaning of derivativesis discussed in calculation.
(c)
To find:The reason for the values of these derivatives.
