Daily change in A follows the daily change in C.
[tex]\triangle[/tex] means "change." So, [tex]\triangle[/tex]A follows [tex]\triangle[/tex]C. It means [tex]\triangle[/tex]A depends on [tex]\triangle[/tex]C. More precisely, [tex]\triangle[/tex]A is a function of [tex]\triangle[/tex]C.
[tex]\triangle[/tex]A = F([tex]\triangle[/tex]C)
It is stated that [tex]\triangle[/tex]A increases as [tex]\triangle[/tex]C increases, and [tex]\triangle[/tex]A decreases as [tex]\triangle[/tex]C decreases. So this is a case of DIRECT VARIATION. It is not stated whether the variation or the function is linear, or quadratic, or some other.
For example, if the variation were linear, then [tex]\triangle[/tex]A = k[tex]\triangle[/tex]C, where k is the constant of variation.
