Puzzle Two
Determine which of the following functions has a greater rate of change in each problem
(Function A, B, or C). Then determine what the greatest rate of change is. If your answer for #1 is
Function B with a rate of change of 4, you will go four letters away from B in the alphabet for your
code to unlock the puzzle so the first letter in the code would be F, or if your answer for #1 is
Function C with a rate of change of 5 the first letter of the code would be H. Repeat this process
for all four questions to find the four letter code to unlock puzzle two!
