Yeah Whoa Okay Math shmoop er's last in this Siri's
- 00:06
here and we're graphing the population growth of England here's
- 00:10
population and yeah Amazing what washing your hands will dio
- 00:14
to increase the population Yeah well graph above shows approximate
- 00:17
populations of England at different dates during the Industrial Revolution

According to the graph what is the difference between the
- 00:23
population growth between eighteen twenty one in eighteen thirty one
- 00:27
and the population growth between eighteen eleven eighteen twenty one
- 00:33
So they're talking about the rate of growth different So
- 00:35
ding ding ding We're talking slope here between this section
- 00:39
and this section and you can tell this one has
- 00:41
a higher slope just visually looking at it than this
- 00:44
one does but didn't give us numbers So let's just
- 00:47
actually think through a problem Here are the good old
- 00:49
days of textile steam engines ripped arms out of their
- 00:52
sockets railways and oh so many people as part of
- 00:55
the Industrial Revolution About one hundred thousand people each year
- 00:58
in fact kind of part of it growing In part
- 01:01
of it we found this answer by starting with slopes
- 01:04
So we got two slopes here twelve minus ten million
- 01:09
people over this ten year period Right And then we're
- 01:12
going to subtract the ten minus nine million people in
- 01:16
this section here That's eighteen twenty one among is eighteen
- 01:19
Elevens We got a ten year period there was that
- 01:21
equal That's two million people over ten years minus one
- 01:25
million people over ten years And that gets us a
- 01:27
million people over ten years or one hundred thousand people
- 01:30
a year Holy Manchester Where's our boy Tommy Malthus When
- 01:34
we need him member population And that's who Malthus is
- 01:37
So the answer is B The difference in population growth
- 01:40
is determined by that slope difference or a hundred thousand 00:01:43.83 --> [endTime] people a year
