The answer is the third one (C?) because if you started at 0, you are going below it since you are losing yards, causing you to have less and less yards. Adding two negatives gives you a lesser amount.
Answer:
rate of change = -32 feet/second
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = 64 – 16t2
t = time (seconds)
Look at the start of time where t = 0
h(t) = 64 - 16 * (0) * 2 = 64 feet
Then look at the specified time where t = 1.25 seconds
h(t) = 64 - 16 * (1.25sec) * 2 = 24 feet
rate of change = rate of change y / rate of change x
x = time, y = height
rate of change = (24 - 64) / (1.25 - 0) = -32 feet/second
