Answer:

12 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Ian tosses a bone up in the air for his dog, Spot. The height, h, in feet, that Spot is above the ground at the time t seconds after she jumps for the bone can be representedh(t)=-16t^2+20t.

What is Spot's average rate of ascent, in feet per second, from the time she jumps into the air to the time she catches the bone at t=1/2?  

We will use average rate of change formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{h(\frac{1}{2})-h(0)}{\frac{1}{2}-0}

\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{-16\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^2+20\cdot \frac{1}{2}-(-16\cdot(0)^2+20\cdot (0))}{\frac{1}{2}-0}

\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{-16\cdot\frac{1}{4}+10-(0)}{\frac{1}{2}}

\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{-4+10}{\frac{1}{2}}

\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{6}{\frac{1}{2}}

\text{Average rate of change}=\frac{2\cdot 6}{1}

\text{Average rate of change}=12

Therefore, Spot's average rate of ascent is 12 feet per second.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

0.78¢

Step-by-step explanation:

if 3.5 lbs of bananas is $2.73, then we need to divide each side by 3.5 to get 1 lb of bananas

1 lb = 0.78¢

To check our work, we can do 0.78x3.5 = 2.73

Hope this helps! Please mark Brainliest if this helped :)
