What is the rocket's average rate of change from 3≤t≤6 in yards/second?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change is the same thing as the slope.  Because this is parabolic, we cannot find the exact rate of change as we could if this were a linear function.  But we can use the same idea.  When t = 3, h(t) = 33, so the coordinate point is (3, 33).  When t = 6, h(t) = 0, so the coordinate is (6, 0).  Plug those values into the slope formula:

m=\frac{0-33}{6-3} and

m=\frac{-33}{3} which is -11

From 3 to 6 seconds, the rocket is falling 11 yards per second.

Please help !Suppose that the height in centimeters of a candle is a linear function of them out of time in hours it has been bu
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

  17.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 17 hours between heights of 18.6 cm and 15.2 cm, the candle lost 3.4 cm in height. That is, the height decreased at the rate of ...

  (-3.4 cm)/(17 h) = -0.2 cm/h

In the 4 hours between 12 hours and 16 hours of burning time, the candle will have changed its height by (4 h)(-0.2 cm/h) = -0.8 cm.

The height at 16 hours of burning is then 18.6 cm -0.8 cm = 17.8 cm.
