The distance traveled, in feet, of a ball dropped from a tall building is modeled by the equation d(t) = 16t2 where d equals the

distance traveled at time t seconds and t equals the time in seconds. What does the average rate of change of d(t) from t = 2 to t = 5 represent?

Average rate of change of a function d(t) between t1 and t2 can be calculated by

average rate of change

= (d(t2)-d(t1)) /(t2-t1)


Geometrically, it represents the secant between points (t1, d(t1)), and (t2, d(t2)).

Physically, it represents the total displacement between t1 and t2, divided by the elapsed time, t2-t1.


For the given problem,

t1=2

t2=5

t2-t1=5-2=3 seconds


d(t1)=d(2)=16(2^2) = 64 ft

d(t2)=d(5)=16(5^2) = 400 ft

d(t2)-d(t1) = 400-64 = 336 ft


Average rate of change (of displacement)

= (d(t2)-d(t1)) / (t2-t1)

= (336/3)

= 112 ft / s.

Assuming that by "16t2" you mean 16t^2:


First of all, let's compute the position at the two required times:


d(2)=16\cdot 2^2 = 16*4 = 64


d(5)=16\cdot 5^2 = 16*25 = 400


So, the ball traveled a total distance of \Delta d = 400-64 = 336, during the time \Delta t = 5-2 = 3.


The average rate of change is the ratio between these two:


\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} = \frac{336}{3} = 112
